Either one. But mostly, doctors let the mother stay awake so that they can immediately interact with their child. Doctors only put the mother to sleep if she has heavy, uncontrolled breathing and can't handle the effects of a local anesthesia (which keeps you awake) or if there is no time to wait for the local anesthesia to take place
