Hi Helen

Yes you can have gas if you want but it is not normally done so you would have to ask for it.

With a spinal they first inject a local into your skin where they are going to put the spinal in. The drug they use does sting for a few seconds but then all you can feel is a bit of pressure when they put the spinal needle in. Sometimes you may get pins and needles in your legs when the spinal needle goes in.

Hope this answers your question

If you need any more info just let me know
