[quote=Anonymous]I'm not 100% sure about the answer to your exact question, so I'll let others fill in, although I think you may need a general anesthesia. But one thing that I didn't know until my childbirth class - people tend to drastically overuse/misuse the phrase "emergency c-section." There are three kinds of c-sections - planned, unplanned, and emergency. The vast, vast majority are planned or unplanned. Very, very few c-sections are actually emergency c-sections. So, almost everyone you talk to who says "oh, I was in labor, but then I had an emergency c-section" actually had an UNPLANNED c-section. In those cases, you still have time to confer with your doctor and/or partner, ask questions, get an epidural, etc. Generally, there's something like 30-60 minutes between deciding to have an unplanned c-section, and the c-section actually taking place. With an emergency c-section, you're talking about just a few minutes, because every minute counts. [/quote]
