Yes you can. But the mother will only be knocked out if there are specific risks or if a mother has heavy, uncontrolled breathing and can't tolerate local anesthesia. But doctors normally use local anesthesia (which keeps the patient awake, but temporarily paralyzed) because it allows the mother to be awake and immediately interact with her child.

Yes. But doctors prefer to not put the mother to sleep unless the mother won't be able to handle the effects of local anesthesia (which keeps you awake) or if there is no time to wait for the local anesthesia to take place. Doctors usually prefer to keep the mother awake so that she can immediately interact with her child once it is born
