Back in 2000 I had to be put under to do an emergency csection to deliver my twins the reason I had to be put under was my blood pressure and my daughter Hope's blood pressure drop very dangerously low when I woke up the took me to the nicu to see the babies I was on a morphine drip for pain the twins were born at 27 weeks gestation due tohoHope's complications I am sure you will do great I also have to be put under for this delivery because of a broken back it sux but anything for a healthy delivery good luck mommy

They used to put women all the way under for c-sections. I expect you'll go to sleep then you will wake up and they will bring you your baby.
It will be similar to your other surgeries.
