Here is my history: During my 1st c-section I had an epidural. I threw up twice in delivery room, and spent the first 24 hours extremely groggy. My second they gave me a spinal because it was scheduled. I threw up many many times during delivery and in the recovery room. They eventually gave me something to stop it. Not sure of name. Also spent the first 24 hours extremely groggy. And then on the day I left hospital got an extremely bad headache and had to be taken to the ER. Was told it was a spinal headache, but that it should have happened sooner. Was given an IV, and an MRI, sent home after 6-8 hours. Still had slight headache for days afterward.

I want to try an avoid as much of the side effects as possible this time. Not sure if I should discuss this with my own doctor or contact the anesthesia department at the hospital. (Thats question #1)

Also looking for info on something I saw on TV a year ago. They talked about a new painkiller or anesthesia that was being used in surgeries. They showed a man who had heart surgery. His post-op problems and recovery were less because this medicine was put directly where the surgery was. They said this would be good for ladies having c-sections that had many side effects from medicine afterwards. Reducing both nausea and that drugged out feeling. I have not been able to find out the name of this or recent info on the net about it. I am wondering if you know what it might be? (That question #2)

I would appreciate any help since this will probably be my last baby. Sorry so long.

Thank you Lori Batronis
