I am not sure how all hospitals close the gaping stomach wound but i was stapled back together and I think this may have caused some of my troubles. I do feel my friend had it worse since I had a spinal tap and her doctor did not give her this or make sure she was properly numbed, mostly because the guy administering it was texting during her surgery and no one was listening to them, I feel this is very unacceptable to put any women through, I can only imagine the pain of being cut open with no pain medicine. I say C-sections are done too often and should really be the exception and not the norm and that women should be informed not scared into doing the procedure.
