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.
for me i went 3 caesarean.. i asked if it is epidural. they say its not. its a spinal anaesthesia. so i was awake throughout the procedure and i canjot feel my tummy lower onwards. my SIL went for 3 csect too she was on GA for all cos she had complications like 1st pregnancy got diabetes, 2nd pregnancy highblood pressure and her 3rd pregnancy very low iron. so doc advise to sleep.
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
