Caesarians don't get general or sedation, do they? Just local and epidural fent?
My wife described it as rummaging through a purse, from the perspective of the purse.
Typically it's just the epidural - they don't even need local since once the epidural is done, they can't feel any pain from the abdomen-down... they will still be able to feel pressure, which is fairly extreme given that it literally involves ripping major abdominal muscles in half; and the discomfort from that much pressure vs the discomfort from pain is kinda splitting hairs. Anyway... General anesthesia in a C-section means there's some kind of emergency on the mother's end, and once the drugs are administered the surgery needs to be done FAST because they can effect the baby.
Rummaging through a purse is a hilariously polite way to put it, lol.
Yeah.... its a scary af time. Especially since the general can take a long time to wear off and the mother stabilize.
