Hi, I am going to have my 4th c-sec in feb. I am at the scared panicky stage now. I just need some reassurance. During my last 2 c-sections I got the terrible uncontrollable shakes during and after. My whole body just shook. Is this normal? What causes it? Thanks

it is caused from the moraphine in the epidural that is used to numb you from the waist down. I experienced the same thing with mine,they had me wrapped in hot blankets for a full hour until it eased up,not at all a nice feeling! Im trying for a VBAC so hopefully i dont have to go through all that again. Good luck with yours!

I experienced uncontrollable shaking during and after 2 of my c-sections. I thought it was mostly nerves. Come to think of it I had morphine in the epidural for those 2 c-sections. I didn't have morphine for the 3rd c-section and did not experience shaking.

I just had my first baby via a section and i experienced the same thing.I didn't find it bad, but also I was prepared for it because I had heard of it happening because of the medication.

I have friends who told me that this happened to them after their c-sections (my doctor said that it's due to the release of horomones). I was prepared that it was going to happen to me when I had my c-section last May (my daughter was breech). I did not have the shakes at all after she was born...it must be individual based on horomones, your body's response to the surgery, etc.

The shakes are normal, before and after. I had my second c section on 12/15/04. And like before, I shook this time as if someone had placed me in a freezer full of ice and water. I requested that the nurse wrap me in warm blankets.That usually calms things down. I don't know where the shakes come from. I presume since a c section is surgery your levels (blood pressure) drop and come back stable once you are out. Just ask for some warm blankets :)

Oh wow! Yes I had the shakes too. I had my c-section 10 days ago and I had already forgotten about the shakes so I guess that tells you that there not too bad you'll have other things on your mind besides the shakes and they don't last too awful long.

I had a c-section on Feb. 1st 2005 just a few days ago so I remember everything quite clear. A little while after the epidural was placed I had the shakes pretty bad, and had them through the whole procedure. The doctors told me it is very common and I have also read that it is! I hope this is a little rea__surance for you! It deff. helps to hear some of that from people who actually went through it ya know. Good luck and Congrats! You can e-mail me at Char051585@yahoo.com
