Planned C-section with general anaesthetic

Frances

Hi ladies,

Due to a spinal condition, my OBGYN has suggested she thinks my only choice for delivery will be no pain relief or c-section with general anaesthetic.

I’m terrified to put it mildly and have such anxiety about the whole thing. I’m 100% sure I can’t go without the pain relief but I’m terrified of the c-section and now under general seems so much worse. Hubby won’t be allowed in with me but will he get the baby pretty much straight away? How long until I’ll be awake and able to meet the baby? Totally overwhelmed and any advice would be wonderful. Thanks so much 😢
