[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They will either give you a spinal or they will give you general anesthesia.  They will not operate on you unanesthetized if that is your worry?[/quote]

They sometimes cut without anesthesia. I’ve seen it happen. [/quote]

DS was in a bad situation and I was told if I couldn't deliver him vaginally in 10 minutes, I would have an emergency C-section with no epidural or anesthesia. The emergency was that the baby had to be out of my body ASAP. I would survive without pain meds, he would not survive a minute longer. Luckily I was able to push him out. Still shocked and scared at the possibility of the different outcome. No one prepared me for that as a possibility.[/quote]

what the hell? if youve got an IV why cant they knock  you out? This is so scary.[/quote]

The problem with all of these stories is that in the heat of the moment, folks are probably misunderstanding what the doctors or nurses are telling them. And then they are repeating it. Or the nurses are saying things as a threat to try to motivate the laboring mom to push harder, which is a shitty thing to do, but some people are shitty. That doesn’t mean if you hadn’t gotten the baby out within 10 minutes they REALLY would have cut you open without anesthesia.[/quote]
