Any mummies went for csection under GA?

Planning to do elective csection under general anesthetic as I hate needles and I don’t want to risk bad back aches from epidural. Is the process more dangerous/risky? Eg. bleeding a lot

I undergone emergency c-sect and had GA as well because the epidural that I chose to take while waiting for normal delivery did not fully kick in when they cut me open and I could literally feel excruciating pain on my lower right abdomen. No issue waking up after the operation. Just groggy as usual. I’m almost 4 weeks post-partum and realise I have this terrible pinching ache right at my tailbone everytime I stand up after sitting down. I’m not sure what it is, guess I need to check it out.

Adjust accordingly cause you don’t want your freshly cut opened and raw tummy to be moving everytime you move/walk around. Use it every single day until you can manage without it. Recommend you to drink Polleney Essence of Black Fish as well to heal the wound inside and cleanse all the blood out. It is disgusting, no doubt. But i
