Tugging & Pressure
Once the pain medication has been administered you will feel numb, most likely from the waist down, especially if you have opted for the epidural or spinal. You will feel a tugging sensation and heaviness on your chest. While it isn´t painful, the heaviness can make it difficult to breathe.

After your baby is delivered, the doctor will remove the placenta and begin to flush out the uterus. This takes around 15-20 minutes. You will feel nothing, only a tugging sensation once in a while.
