Ive never had one, but I work in the Recovery Room at a hospital. You would be surprised how often these are done. Usually at least one or two a day. The pain afterwards isn't bad, people are usually up and ready to go after about an hour and a half. From what I have been told there's just mild cramping and a light period after, but your dr. will give you pain medicine for that. If you can take Ibuprofen, I've heard that it works better than narcotic pain meds for the cramps. Take your time afterwards, you have an excuse for once to just lay around and relax! Good luck! Let us know how you do!!
