[quote=Anonymous]Do not get me wrong, I am [i]grateful[/i] for the relief from pitocin pain my epidural brought me, and it was still better than the surreal-to-me c-section experience of pregnant then suddenly not (my baby went to the NICU, so there was no getting to know baby during the surgery, just worry), but I did not like the disconnect between mind and body. I have been diagnosed with PTSD (unrelated and prior to birth) Anyone else? Suggestions to be more "in it" as I anticipate pitocin again in a few weeks and do not imagine that I can get through without an epi. And I will have Jeff remove anything that tries to inflame one way or the other; I am not rehashing the old medicated-unmedicated debate. I can't be the only one who had this gratefulness for the relief but wish that I didn't feel so physically separate from the experience.[/quote]
