If I ever have a c-section I definitely want it done UNDER general anaesthesia. I simply cannot understand why most women prefer just an epidural and to be awake, I read that this is standard now. I know most women want to see their baby and all and be awake when the baby comes out, but for me, I HAVE to be asleep. There is NO WAY I would EVER be awake for something as grueling as that. I saw a c-section on tv and it freaked me out. I don't think I will ever want to bear kids or have a c-section after that. I am turning 27 in 2 months and I still don't ever want to have kids knowing the incredible pain involved. It's just not for me.

I also read that it's a hot trend with celebs now to get elective cesareans, because they either don't want to push and rather have it all planned out.
It's called "too posh to push" after Posh Spice (victoria beckham) who's had 3 c-sections.
