May I know For Elective C-Sect and Emergency C- Sect, what kind of anesthesia they give ?

Do hospitals let you choose general anaesthesia, regional or spinal anaesthesia? What's epidural then? Very confused.#advicepls #FTM

It allows you to be awake and alert throughout labor, as well as to feel pressure. The ability to feel second-stage labor pressure enables you to push when it's time to give birth to your baby.

will I feel any pain at all for spinal anaesthesia? teeny weeny pain when they do the surgery? will I be looking at how they do the incision? so scared to see the surgery wide awake

thanks for sharing

Usually for Csect, they give epidural (mostly this) or a spinal anaesthesia which keeps you awake during the process. Hospitals will hardly give or suggest GA unless the condition requires or you specifically strongly requested to be under it (which may be rejected).

thanks
