Which one is best for a C-Section?

Question

Which one did you feel or you think you felt less pain? Which one went better?

Answer

I guess it’s depending on how it works where you live but like the other comment mentioned scheduled csections prefer spinal blocks. 
In my first I had a failed epidural for the induction and 2 day labouring then had a spinal for the csection. Then I had the spinal for number 2 & will have for #3. 
The spinal is honestly top quality 😍

Answer

If you're having a planned c section they'll automatically do a spinal. They'll usually only use an epidural if it's emergent and it's already in place.

Answer

So....they tried 3 times to do a spinal on me. When they finally got it in the meds didn’t work! Lol. They pinched me just before they were about to cut! So then they did the epidural and it all went smoothly 🙂

Answer

I’ve had both a spinal and general. First was general because I have a blood disorder that made me ineligible for anything else. It was emotionally difficult to process and “get over” missing the first couple hours of our son’s life. I was pretty out of it for a while even after meeting him and our first photo I am the same color as the sheets. 
With our second, my disorder was managed enough to have a spinal. I was extremely nauseated from it to the point that I could barely move my eyes side to side for hours. My BP dropped right after getting it, which they initially missed because the nurse hadn’t turned on the machine. They only knew when I started dry heaving and passing out. They gave me meds that corrected my pressure but didn’t help the nausea. Nothing did. It was a full 24 hours after surgery before I could even keep down water. But I was awake and heard our daughter’s first cry, which was amazing. My pain was way less after the spinal since they inject pain medicine that lasts a good day or so. I didn’t take any narcotics the first day whereas with my general one, I had them immediately when waking up. 
I was terrified of the spinal because I was worried I would have lasting back problems. My SIL has them from her epidural. The anesthesiologist explained that an epidural is higher risk because it is a catheter that remains in your back while a spinal is a single injection. General is a greater risk than either because going under has a lot of risks and once mom goes under, baby goes under. They often also don’t allow anyone in the OR during a general anesthesia birth and if in the rare case they do, that person has to stay in a corner and not go near the mom, who is intubated. 
If given the choice, which is unlikely but possible, I would recommend a spinal and hopefully the anesthesia nurse is better than mine. She also kept referring to our newly born child as a boy despite my husband announcing to the room we had a girl and another nurse correcting her.
