What did they use before for your c-sections? I had a spinal and I didn't find it to be really painful. I think the stuff they put in first to numb the skin is worse, that really stung. The spinal needle (if done right) shouldn't hurt, but you'll have pressure. Just remember to breath and try to relax, it will make it much easier.

Good luck!!!!
