If you are awake during the operation you most likely have a epidural or something else taking the pain away. So that would not make any difference. The nerves wouldn't just be able to ignore the epidural.
There is no set time after an epidural that you deliver. There are many factors that go into delivery. It depends on how dialated you are when you receive the epidural Also, how fast and strong your contractions are. You can be in labor for quite a while after you get your epidural. The joy is that you don't mind it so much anymore.
The epidural numbs the body from the waist down but doesn't cause you to go to sleep. However in some procedures, they also give you a sedating medication which wipes out all memory of the procedure and events in the OR.
Yes, you can get an epidural with each birth.

The anagram is the medical term "epidural."
You can't unless you have a c-section before you go into labor but that is only if there is something wrong with your or the babies health. And Braxton-hicks contractions happen before labor and are the starter to labor in the second trimester. Even if you get a c-section or epidural after labor starts you are going to have to go through the pain of one before they give you a epidural or say you need a c-section which can be up to days. All of us moms went through it and survived.
when you get the epidural could you get swelling?
I think the needle will be inserted in lumbar 3 and 4 for epidural.
