Does a general anaesthetic affect the fetus if administered just before birth?

The anesthetic affects the fetus as much as it affects the mother. If she is having it for a C-section, the lightest anesthetic possible is given prior to the birth of the baby and everyone is ready to deliver the baby as quickly as possible. Once the baby is delivered the anesthetic for the mother is deepened for the abdominal repair. If an anesthetic is required for any other operation, the baby will be affected as much as the mother, but as the mother comes round the baby will also come round.
