? For those with multiple C's with spinals

With my DD I had an epidural placed about 2 hours before the decision was made to go to surgery. I felt a great deal during the surgery. I didn't know it wasn't right I kept remembering people saying they confused pressure for pain, so I though I was doing that.

With my DS I got a spinal. It went in fine, it worked great, too great.

DS was born at 11:04am. At 5:30pm I was finally allowed to leave the surgical recovery unit and go to my room, the kicker? The only reason was because they wanted to go home. I still couldn't do more than wiggle my right toes.

What I'm asking is with spinals do the effect vary like with an epidural? Or will my experience be about the same this time.

Because honestly I would choose feeling the surgery over not seeing my son until 6pm if I could.
