@ffsstc I am a therapist and well aware of what constitutes a panic attack. I know that I had one. The vomiting and shaking were just other symptoms that contributed to my distress.

@mich1 Yes, the nurses helped me into a variety of positions to push. I kept waiting for the urge to push to kick in, but it never came so I just pushed with the contractions. If anything I wish I could have waited to push until I got that urge, but who knows if I ever would have? Thank you for...

ETA: none of what I say here is meant to reflect anything negative towards other csection mothers. This was just my experience and my feelings about it. I gave birth January 14th at 2:19AM to a beautiful baby girl. I am so happy she is here safely, but I feel seriously traumatized by my birth...
