C section mommas! Anesthesia choices ..

Deneb • Fri, Apr 22

This question is For those mommas who have been fortunate/unfortunate enough to have delivered their babies via c section. I am currently hospitalized at week 35+ 3 d due to complete placenta previa, pre-eclampsia and pre-gestational diabetes 😞 my rainbow baby girl is doing great 👍🏽👍🏽 I am scheduled for my c section on April 27th and I have been given the option of choosing epidural l, spinal tap, or general anesthesia. Wondering if you guys can share your past choices and what you recommend .. Help me make my decision 😜

It's important for me to bond w my baby girl and have skin to skin contact- I know I will be limited due to the c section... And it's such a bummer, as I really really wanted to deliver naturally, but I must make the best out of my situation 😬

Please share pain descriptions and how alert you were with your choices.

Many thanks!
