How do I deal with the fear of spinal anesthesia
Fear of a medical intervention and also of the birth itself are completely normal and above all a fear of the unknown. Many women find it helpful to talk to other women and their midwife and the doctors treating them and to clarify all questions. In the case of spinal anesthesia, the partner can usually go to the operating room and can therefore support the woman.
Fears should be addressed openly. If the fear of the spinal anaesthesia is too great, alternatives can be considered.
