I no for a m/c most dr's will put you under, I was put under when i had a m/c last june.

Now in the event a person has an abortion, wheather they do a D&C or D&E you have a choice to be put under or awake, bcuz the cost is different, (cost more to be put to sleep)

I just had one a week ago and I was put all the way under with a general.  They were saying sometimes they do not put you out all the way... I think it's called a twilight anasthetic, but you would think you were all the way under anyway because you would be so out of it.

I'm pretty sure they would never keep someone awake during one.
