Could anyone else move their legs during surgery?
TW: if you’re worried about feeling the surgery in any way, take care when reading.
Ok so I couldn’t feel pain, but I definitely did have to focus on not moving my legs the whole time. I asked if I was going to get up off the table at the end of the surgery, and everyone sort of chuckled “No! of course not!” so then i thought maybe something was off for me.
in recovery, the nurses and anesthesiologist came to ask if i could wiggle my toes and i said “yes, i can completely move my legs too” and pulled them up to my chest. the anesthesiologist said she’d never seen anything like that before.
i’m having another c-section in 2 weeks and worried this might happen again but worse - like i’m. worried i’ll feel it.
has this happened to anyone else? did you talk to anyone about it? how to avoid it?
