Re: 2nd opinion - I am going to deliver in the next two weeks. So don't really have time to get a second opinion.
MrsRed - yeah, but I have to get past delivery.
The problem is that it eliminates the possibility of having an epidural or spinal since, well I'm not really sure - you bleed into your spine and they can't stop the bleeding? I'm still trying to get my head wrapped around this.
I'm trying to figure out how much of a hard head to be and take the chance on the epidural or are my odds better with general (which is where my doc is headed). I only just agreed to a repeat c-section and I'm not happy with that and now this.

I want to have all of the choices that other mother's have and they are being taken away from me one by one. I feel like I'm being backed into a corner with no options. I don't do well when I'm being pushed where I don't want to go, but I just don't know enough to make an informed decision and I don't have time, literally and figuratively, to learn.
Even if I simply agree with what my doctor tells me I have to live with the consequences of that for the rest of my life.
