A member asked:
Has anyone experience a patient having svt during a csection? i'm afraid this will happen to me since i have svt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rarely: SVT can occur anytime during the pregnancy but especially in the last trimester. Fortunately, even for those with prior history of SVT, the incidence is low and the treatment is safe and effective. Sometimes episodes terminate on their own. SVT may happen during C-section but again this is uncommon and usually managed easily with no harm to mother or child.
