oh man, i was so terrified of this too.. like seriously having anxiety over it before going in for the section and everytime the dr. came in on that last day at the hospital, i would nearly have a panic attack. Let me tell you, i didnt feel a thing. The incision itself is numb from the surgery anyway, i guess b/c the nerve endings were cut or whatever... so the nurse came in and used this little tool and i didnt feel anything, not even a pinch! i was in shock.. i had my MIL holding one hand and my DH holding the other as i cringed to only feel NOTHING.. then she goes, ok im done and i go, oh, thats it? i was shocked!! So dont worry, it will be ok :)
