Caesarian: If this is a planned c/s, request a spinal. If you don't have allergy to morphine, request morphine in your spinal. Yes, expect dome breathless moments, especially with exterior inaction of the uterus. If your anaesthesiologist prop you up on 2 pillows, you will have less chance of feeling bresthless.
