Do you get sedation during cesarean section?

Generally no.: Most cesarean sections are performed under spinal or epidural anesthesia and sedation is not typically used. Rarely c-sections are under general anesthesia. Sedatives can affect fetal/neonatal behavior as well, so they are best avoided. In certain cases and typically after the infant is delivered, low doses of sedatives may be used to alleviate maternal anxiety/stress.

Usually no: An epidural is sufficient for a C-section procedure. The anesthesiologist are very skilled and numbs all the areas so that you will be comfortable. My wife had 2 c sections and it was very smooth.
