Can you be induced and have natural childbirth after a C-section?
Optimally you would be allowed to go into labor naturally without being induced and progress without having any intervention. The more medical intervention a laboring woman is subjected to the higher her risk of distress to herself and the baby.
I would suggest finding a doctor or midwife who promotes V.B.A.C. (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) and a knowledgeable Doula to assist you through the birth process.
Can you have a c section without an epidural?
Most C- sections occur because labor has progressed but there may be problem. For instance, the baby may have a declining heart rate or may not have turned or some other emergency. In most cases the mothers have already had the epidural If you are having a planned C-section they will probably give you a spinal block which is like an epidural only it goes directly into your spine.

You will have such relief after you get one, that the little needle prick won't even phase you

How much time you should avoid intercourse After a c-section?
Just like vaginal childbirth, you should wait at least six weeks after a C-section before you engage in sexual intercourse. You should always wait until the doctor gives you the okay to have sex.
You may want to wait a little longer with a c-section because your uterus and cervix will be more sensitive since your uterus was cut into during your surgery. This can make sex painful at first if your uterus has not completely healed.

If you have gestational diabetes do you have to have a c-section?
No. But gestational diabetes increases your chance of having one. The main risk factor of gestational diabetes is a baby that gains too much weight. Often, if a baby is too big, vaginal delivery is deemed too dangerous and a c-section is scheduled. Your doctor will be closely monitoring your baby's weight in the last few weeks of your pregnancy to determine the need for an early delivery or c-section.
The best thing you can do is follow a diabetic diet by limiting sugars and carbs.
Do i stay Awake or asleep for c-section?
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
