Elective c section

Currently 32w4d with my first.

I’ve been speaking to my OB about having an elective caesarean because I have SVT and an ectopic pelvic kidney with dilated ureters.

I’m scared that if I go in for a natural birth, my heart rate will go up dramatically (it sits at 90-110 resting and randomly goes up to 180). If that’s how high it gets for no reason I can only imagine how high it will go during labour. When I have an episode I freak out because it literally feels like you’re going to die.

I’m scared that during labour this will happen and it will turn into an emergency ceasar.

I have gone through every possible scenario in my head and I just don’t see it happening the way I want it to.

If my heart doesn’t play up I’ve also been told my by OB that my kidneys may decide labour is too hard for them to cope. So there’s that too.

Does anyone have the same issues as me and have had a normal birth?

I just don’t see it going well. I’ve had so many problems during this pregnancy and I just feel like if anything could go wrong it probably will.

If I book in for a ceasar I sort of know what to expect. I can go in calm and keep my baby calm and hope that nothing that can go wrong in major surgery happens to us.

What would you do in my situation?

Risk yours and your babies life by attempting a natural birth or undergo major surgery?

*i understand that yes I MAY be overreacting and MAY have a perfectly normal natural birth but as I said above I feel with all of my being that this won’t be the case.

I want nothing more than to have a natural birth because I know how bad the recovery from a c section can be. But in saying that everyone has different experiences and heals differently.
