Emergency C-Section

[aali4]

I think I'm confused. When I had an EMERGENCY csection, I was given anesthesia & put to sleep.. Has anyone had one and NOT been put to sleep? Please share your experience :-)

Thanks everyone!! :-) & to the two ladies right above.. I'm glad to hear you both were still able to witness your baby's first cry! :-) Praying if I ever have to have another csection, I can be awake for my baby's first cry! Congratulations moms! :-)

I had to have an emergency c section due to the placenta rupturing. I was given an epidural because my little boy was not in distress.  The nurse anesthetic promised me she would nock me out if I felt any pain. Luckily the epidural worked.

I had an emergency c-section luckily I got the epidural before we knew I was going to need a c-section. I was alert the most part I heard my baby's first cry and see him. After that I was told that I went to sleep...

Oh ok. I went from 3to10 before being checked. My daughter started coming out. I pushed her out. & bcuz my son was still transverse (side to side), they put me to sleep and went to get him. I see posts on here about emergency sections and the woman was awake. I just don't understand how was an emergency.. (Hopefully Im not offending anyone)

Anesthesia is faster than the spinal and in an emergency, time is everything.

I think for the most part people aren't put to sleep.

I had a spinal with my c-section. I prefer this way so I can see my baby!
