C section - LA

Just found out today that I will be undergoing c section under LA instead of GA. The thought of staying awake while being cut and stitched is abit scary to me. Would like to check if husbands are allowed in the operating theatre for c sec under LA. Doing it at mount Alvernia. Your response would be appreciated
