Hi Danni
if they let you put off having the catheter put in until you are numb please let me know - i will definitely ask for that next time as that was the most unpleasant thing about my c/s!!

One thing i might ask for next time is to have a second support person for me around as once the baby is born and is taken off to be checked etc i was left by myself (ie no dh but lots of others in the room) and no body talked to me for ages and i can remember feeling very alone and it seemed to go on for ages. So if you have someone else who could stay with you once bub is born that may be an idea although i don't know if it's alowd.
Good luck and hope you have a great experience meeting junior.
