I didn't have placenta previa but I gave birth through cs. At 38weeks and 4 days. I spent 7 days at the hospital, it was my second surgery though I was fit to be discharged at the 5th day but stayed back for other reasons. I was awake the whole time. For the time it depends on how you are when the open you up. Some people spend an hour while others is not like that, mine was 2hrs plus cause I had uterine adhesion with my baby lying transverse
