Urine Catherter? :/

I have been OBSESSING about the urine Catherter thing..! It makes me cringe just thinking about it >_< what does it feel like and did they take it out while you were asleep or how did the whole process go for you guys? I'm terrified of anything other than my IUD inside my vag. Lol it's just weird.

It doesn't hurt at all and you can't even tell it's inside you unless you pull away from it and you can tell you're attached to something. They put it in when you're asleep and take it out when you're awake on like day 2 post op. I actually was very happy to have it because that meant I didn't have to get up for 2 days lol - I didn't have any bowel movements until day 3. Feels weird when they take it out but it's faster than a needle

Ps- I never had the sensation of needing to pee or actively peeing. I was shocked as hell to see them take away the giant pitcher of urine that APPARENTLY came from me

I had mine placed when I was already under anesthesia and removed right after I came out of surgery. I was only asked to take a deep breath and is it out. Didn't feel a thing. Just to let you know, the catheter is not placed in the vagina. It is in your pee hole which is totally separate from the vaginal opening. Relax and everything will turn out well. When is your surgery?

Yeah' date=' its crazy! But its a relief not having to pee when your fresh out of surgery.... Even the day after its hard! I had gas pain, I was hooked to iv I have these leg squeezers on I had to take those off, unplug my iv, get up and walk to the bathroom....[/quote']

I had to do the exact same thing. I wished they kept the catheter in to be honest. I HATED the nurses who kept me hooked up to my IV and expected me to drag it along with me to the bathroom

I had 3 csection dudnt feel it at all. Then with gastric bypass I was asleep but awake when it was taken out and only because I told them I wanted to pee on my own. It didn't hurt. Now!!! The freaken tube hurts like a mother.

That was the only thing I was afraid of. It didn't hurt at all. I was asleep when it was put in and they took it out at 4 am the next morning. She told me take a deep breath and it was out.
