Hi Spice,
I had an emergency C/S after 17 hrs of labour, DS was born at 9.34 pm. I had a spinal epi so there is nothing left in, I get the injection & that's it. I was up the next day & only on ponstan & panadine forte/panadol regularly while in hospital. I was out after 5 days (mainly because my milk hadn't come in yet) but in that time I was able to hold the bub. I know if I go for round 2 I want to try a VBAC.
I would suggest you think about if you want any painkillers during the labour process because that may have something to do with what they use when you go under and what the hospital policy is.
GL with your decision
