If they could deal with me going yarp, yarp during the c-section (I had an epidural for that), then they could at least deal with a book on tape or iPod. If an epidural worked for them cutting open my belly, you'd likely be fine with one. (Properly administered and all.) You can also tell the anesthesiologist if you start to feel anything, that way.
(It was funky. I could feel my toes, but from ankles to ribs? Nada. I was poking at my stomach and going, "Woah, numb!" on the way to the operating theater.)
