Most C-sections are performed using regional anesthesia, which numbs only the bottom half of your body and allows you to stay conscious throughout the process. A spinal block and an epidural block are two common options. In an emergency, general anesthesia may be required. During this type of operation, all feeling in your body is suppressed, so you will not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. When you have a C-section, you will be given various medications to keep you from feeling anything during the operation. You may even be given something to make you sleep through the experience. The anesthesiologist will start you on a drug called Propofol, which is used for anesthesia during surgery. It can also be used as a sedative after surgery if needed. Atropine is used to prevent your stomach from making too much acid during and after the operation. Haldol is used to reduce anxiety before surgery. Your C-section will most likely be done under general anesthesia because it will require you to be completely unconscious during the operation. The anesthesiologist will give you several drugs during the procedure to get the job done. He or she will start with Propofol and move on to other drugs if necessary.
