I had two emergency sections and have severe panic disorder......I survived just fine! Simply make sure you discuss ALL your concerns and fears with your doctor before the "big day!" I promise you, everything will be OK.

I recently had a child via c-section and believe it or not after the epidural my blood pressure and heart rate dropped. They got my bp normal and I actually stayed with my heart rate very normal during the delivery. I had a very hard C-section bc my baby was lodged under my ribs and they had to manually force him down (and that part of me wasn't numb) so they gave me alittle something to help me relax. I have anxiety and have had tachycardia. Talk to your dr and it should all be fine. My dr. was aware of my anxiety and my history of high heart rate so he new that I would probably freak out during delivery.
