I am pregnant but have severe svt. is it recommended that i get a c-section?

Ask cardiologist: Generally speaking....A vaginal delivery is easier on the heart than a c-section. If your SVT is worsened by exertion and exercise than you may do better with a c-section. If your SVT is controllable with medications than you may be able to have a vaginal delivery.
