Brief Answer:
C section is good option

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Chiari malformations are prone to rupture with pressure. Any unnecessary rise in pressure need to be avoided.

Hence I suggest you undergo C section which will be better to have controlled pressure and prevent any danger.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
