I will be a first time mom and will be meeting with the anesthesiologist next week. B/c of past addictions and concerns, I want to use lidocaine w/out epi. Is this possible? I use lidocaine for my dental procedures and it works well for me. I was wondering how lidocaine would be if I needed a c-section since the doseage would me greater.
Another question I have is: I am doing research on general anesthesia and epidurals/spinals. To be honest, I don't know which one I would choose. I want to be ovjective and do what is best for me with looking at the pro's and con's of each. Epidurals seem to have long term effects. Where can I research this a bit more? Can you give your opinions on both considering my concerns and not which one may seem easier.
((Hugs to you Kevin)) I wished you could be my anesthetist if I needed one. Thanks so much for explaining the difference to me and making me feel more at ease. I see him Monday and will let you know how it goes and bring my concerns. I just hope I don't get intimated and forget to ask some of those questions. Have a great weekend.
