I'm debating if I want to have another c section. If so this will be my 2nd. My other was in april 07. I was wondering if anyone else's chest felt tight or weird during the actual procedure? Dr said I was fine the entire time and they were watching me with monitors hooked to me. They told me it was air going into my chest with it being open. Was it just me?

That is normal to have tightening in ur chest, when they are reaching in for the baby it squashes your already squashed lungs, I felt strange sensations with all my sections. Also when they put the drug into your vein that shrinks ur uterus back down (they do that within seconds of delivery, u might not even have noticed) it can cause a 'burning' sensation inside ur chest and to me it felt like i was suffocating but I calmed down wen th doc explained it was normal.
