My wife went through that too... she got the nine-inch model.

First time it hit her, she was several months pregnant, and we were heading
back 
to Vancouver with my dad from our family cabin... we stopped at the hospital in

a small Interior town (Merritt - country music fans may recognize the name),
and 
  since it was already past midnight, they insisted on keeping her there over 
night.  So Dad and I headed on to Vancouver, I got my car, left a note at work 
(at about 5am), and headed back up to get her.

To paraphrase Ted Nugent, her hospital stay was not unlike an activity that's 
"three syllables, and the first two are 'cluster'."

After finally examining her and assuring her the pain wasn't anything to do
with 
the baby (which she already knew), the doctor declared the best thing to do was

just to sleep it off.  So they shot her up with Demerol and put her to bed. 
Within an hour, a nurse was waking her up to check her blood pressure, and 
asking her how she was doing, if she knew where she was, and other stupid 
questions that no-one on demerol should have to think about.  Barely an hour 
after she got back to sleep, another nurse was wanting her to stand on a scale
- 
like that's an easy thing when you're whacked out on demerol.

She finally got about two hours of uninterrupted sleep before she was awakened 
by the woman in the next bed going on loudly about the birds outside the
window..

It was several months and two attacks later that she finally had the operation.
