do you want to feel your tummy getting cut? 😂 i mean with the sharp tools all 😏 so yes its a must. alternatively, GA is unconscious tho. no pain at all during op. next thing you know, all is done

Alternative is general anaesthesia. A c-section is a surgery. You can’t have it without any pain relief. That would be torture. Seriously.

definitely require form of anaesthesia.. either epidural or general anaesthesia.. if not you will feel extreme pain when they cut open

GA is for older patients or those who had epidural recently based on what the doctor told me.

GA but you won’t be awake and will only see baby much later. I took epi
