Had An Emergency C Section, Had A Epidural, Ribs Cage Hurts, Feels Crawling In Belly, Stabbing Sensation

Hi i had to have an emergency c section 5 months ago i also had a epidural the first epidural the same night then by morning no progress cord wrapped tightly around my son's neck they proceeded to give me more. I had too much medicine and when i lay flat on my back my room is spining, no matter which way i lay my ribs cage hurts the very top my hip bones is painful the left and right side front and back of my sides are at 12+ im very frustrated at this time i truly think there's something seriously wrong. At times I feel there's something crawling in my belly and a sharp stabbing sensation

Hi,

I understand that the delivery process has been a difficult experience for you.
The spinning sensation may be due to anemia and blood loss that occur during the procedure as well as due to breast feeding as the demand of the body for iron is higher.
But it seems you are having aches and pains everywhere. Pain in hips and ribs is very rarely attributed to c sections or epidural and crawling in belly are more suggestive of a psychological cause. You seem to have reacted too much to the whole procedure.
I suggest you try to stop thinking about it, take care of your baby, eat lots of fruits and green vegetables, take light exercise like a morning and evening walk, some meditation and read good books. If this helps you will be just fine if you still keep on having trouble I suggest you get yourself evaluated by a physician.

I do understand that you are having trouble, but try not to think of the c section and epidural and you will get over it.

Hope I was helpful.

Thanks for the query.
