Hi Ally, i had an epidural with my first and it made me quite sick for about an hour, with #2 i had a spinal which i found awful, it took them well over an hour to get it in and it made me feel terrible until the nurse gave me something to make me feel better.
It's totally up to you what kind of anaesthetic you have, if i ever need another c-section, i would go with another epidural
Spinal Tap and epidural are different, so you have 3 options, I had a spinal tap, I found this to be good, its a one off needle, and wears off about 4 hrs post op, an epidural is like a drip into your spine, and can be topped up if needed for pain relief, of course the biggest downfall with a GA, is not seeing the birth, and most people experience nausea after a GA, babies are usually sleepier too. You need to discuss your needs/ wants with your Ob and go through all the pros and cons.
