Both of these links acknowledge that this is primarily issue in emergency sections. Because, if it's not an emergency and you say "ouch," they stop and fix your meds. In an emergency, they may have to go to general anesthetic so that you aren't in pain. The study figures include [i]everybody[/i] who got their meds topped up or got general anesthetic, for any reason.

The article refers to one woman who says she felt the whole procedure. I don't know if she didn't speak up, or she did and wasn't taken seriously, or she's convinced herself she felt things she didn't. But the idea that 6% of sections go like that is not supported in the data. [/quote]

Some women feel numb on the skin but still feel visceral pain. They feel the surgery. It’s risky to put a pregnant woman under general anesthesia, the doctors let the mothers suffer because of the risk of general.[/quote]

Again, the study measures "felt pain" by counting the number of patients who had their meds increased. No part of the study involved asking women if they felt pain a) at all or b) after the meds were increased. [/quote]

Typically women’s pain is down played during birth. Can you imagine a man having another type of surgery and feeling the pain? It wouldn’t fly.[/quote]
