I'm not pregnant yet but are trying. When I had dd, I ended up with a post dural puncture headache. It was VERY debilitating. I couldn't even sit up for a couple of weeks without throwing up. I was scared to walk and carry dd as I got so dizzy and had double vision. I ended up being readmitted for a second blood patch.
I'm worrying about my options if and when we have another. I'd like to just birth normally but worry that if things didn't progress they would want to give me a section. I never want another epidural because it was so awful afterwards. Would I therefore have to be put under general anaesthetic if it came to a section?
