Specializes in Family Medicine

Usually not: Risks of a general anesthesia for both mom and unborn child can be problematic when compaired to a spinal or epidural anesthetic. Be sure to talk to your OB and can also have a consult with anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist to discuss these issues/concerns.
