It sounds as if it would be an unplanned c section not an emergency, so they would do it like a normal c section.

Thats weird. Ive never had to lean forward. Ive always just laid on my right side in the bed while they inserted it.

Epudural is fine i personally will be choosing a spinal block only because i have back problems and i dont wont the tube left in in case of further damage to mu spine. it doesnt hurt the most difficult thing is sitting on edge of bed trying to bend forward as far as possible...v.difficult with baby bump in way. you will be fine make sure you rest after c-sec though.xx
