I had a spinal for DD1 but I can't remember from where I was numb although I didn't have any issues with the block. However, due to knowing what I was going through with the second, I was very anxious and had a TERRIBLE experience with the CS. I had a spinal block which came under my breasts and my legs were out too. But I won't go into the rest of what happended but I do blame it for my PND and PNA. So I will be getting a GA should I be lucky enough to have another bub. All I'm saying is choose what is going to make you feel comfortable as if you don't you might end up having a panic attack on the table which is what happended to me. Good luck and I hope all goes well for you.
