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

I had it at sgh but didnt get my husb to be inside not sure why. But then again everyone was super nice, and u wouldnt feel a thing. Just make sure to stay still and hold ur eyes when they are poking ur spine. Otherwise all is well except the recovery, it is different for every women depending on their threshold. My anaestheti doc gave me updates on the surgery. Like oh ur girl is coming out, they are stitching u up. U almost done. Good job. But still the thought of it was scary.
