Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone could give me some advice on which pain refief is the better/safer option for a scheduled c-section and what they are like.

I had my first daughter under general for an emegency c-section, this time i am going to try and be brave and have it awake but im not too sure on why there are 2 options for pain relief is one better than the other?

Also how did everyone find the pain factor with the spinal/epi going in? i think this part freaks me out the most, but i suppose it has to be better than endless hours of labour!!

hope someone can help!!
