Almost 38 weeks, can I have a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

Hello, I would like to ask that I am almost at 38 weeks and planning for a cesarean section. But it is said that the needle for the regional anesthesia is too painful, and I feel a bit upset. Can I decide on general anesthesia? Does general anesthesia have an impact on the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

It's better not to have general anesthesia; it will be better for both you and the baby. Don't be sad, it won't hurt. I had a C-section, but I didn't feel any pain. Don't listen to what others say and scare yourself. In general, general anesthesia is never used unless there are special circumstances. For safety, you should follow the doctor's advice. In addition to regular medical treatment for a C-section, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care, such as eating a light diet and avoiding spicy and stimulating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
