Obviously I have had egg collection under sedation and it was fine, it's the recovery that's the issue. I was just wondering why you can't be sedated in the same way for c section? I know someone who has problems walking after having the epidural and constantly shakes now so obviously it's an extra deterrent against having it done. I am most likely to end up with a c section as they struggle with just a smear test etc on me. Both my sister's ended up with c sections as well. The midwife won't even consider the birthing centre as I'm so complicated I will be on the ward.
