I could feel whatever they were doing up in my stomach, like right at my rib age. I have no idea nor desire to know what they were doing haha! It didn't make me N or V but I could see why women with a sensitive stomach would V.
I didn't know it was more common. Hopefully I will be recovered by the time I have a baby. Due to previous surgery down there, a c-section is most likely what I will have to have. Which I am okay with having because hey, no labor, I can deal with that. Also, with an emergency c-section I know the cut is different, vertical, while non-emergency c-sections are down with a horizontal cut. The recovery, I think, is a bit harder with the vertical and I think once you had one vertical, there's a slightly higher risk of having issues with a VBAC. I think, don't quote me on that last sentence.
