C section - LA

Just found out today that I will be undergoing c section under LA instead of GA. The thought of staying awake while being cut and stitched is abit scary to me. Would like to check if husbands are allowed in the operating theatre for c sec under LA. Doing it at mount Alvernia. Your response would be appreciated

As long it’s not emergency c sec, husband can be inside with you. I had both my kids via c sec LA. The feeling is scary at first because you don’t know what to expect. But honestly, you won’t feel anything. The doctors and nurses will be there to make you feel so comfortable, talking to you that before you know it, everything is done. To me the only thing I dislike was the bright lights of the operating theatre and the side effects of LA that had me vomiting quite a bit. But other than that, it’s truly painless to me.
