TBH, I wouldn't have thought there was that much to ask the anaesthetist. Just ask him to explain how the procedure works, how long you wil have no feeling etc. All the stuff about holding the baby is more up to the Ob performing the c/s than the person stopping the pain. I think it is good that you are meeting them though, it means you will know who you are dealing with rather than doing introductions when you are about to have surgery.

I agree with the other girls re having the spinal. I hated the idea of a needle in my spine, but it really wasn't that bad. Like Beema, I hated not being able to move my toes and legs for ages after bubs was out though.
