i had a c/s due to placenta previa but really made it enjoyable (if that is the right word - not sure yet lol)

because you are having a spinal block, you dont have control over your bladder so yes a catherter is inserted, whether you have a general or spinal. the anasethetic paralyses you which means all your smooth muscle in your body (bladder is made up of transitional smooth muscle) you lose the ability to be able to know when your bladder is full or not. u dont feel the catherter going in as they do it once the administer the spinal block.

you wont be having a general unless the doctor feels its necessary. generals are mostly given in situations where a spinal has been attempted and failed and general is the only other option to go.

have you tried looking into spinning to see if you can turn the baby? there is still plenty of time for him/her to turn.

good luck! xx
