I am terribly nervous about my c section in 2 weeks. I met with the anaesthetist and she told me that they give no anti-anxiety meds to calm the mother down prior to the c section (even though that option is offered in different countries!) She said when they administer the spinal, I will only get gas and air, but the spinal will contain some long lasting morphine for pain relief. My questions are:
Were you offered anti anxiety meds prior to your c- and what was it?
and
Did you find that the morphine in your spinal helped calm you during the procedure?
