I am mainly asking to get other opinions who have been through a general for a C - Section or those who know of others who have.
I have had 2 previous C - Sections. During the spinal on my last section, the doctor punctured the wrong spot (4 times) and left me with severe back pain for weeks after the procedure and also numbness for several days. She was wiggling the needle around asking "Can you feel the left side of your back?" Yes, yes, I definitely could.... It was excruciating and honestly I feel sick just thinking about getting another spinal / epidural for this section. The operation was an absolute breeze compared to the spinal.
The anaesthetist at my new hospital has recommended that I get a general as I am so stressed about the spinal, but I want to make sure that I am not putting myself or my baby under any undue risks by having a general.
Am I being unreasonable and should just get a spinal?
