Hear Mumma,
Heart disease is not an indication for caesarean section delivery. During Caesarean section there may be increased load on the heart. In heart disease cases, caesarean section is performed only for Obstetrical indications.
Please report to your cardiologist for your cardiac evaluation and management. The Obstetrician will be managing you with Cardiologist's advice.
Please do not put any pressure on the Obstetrician.
