Discuss your options for where you can give birth with your healthcare team. This should include a cardiologist with experience in treating congenital heart disease in pregnancy. You may be advised to give birth in hospital.
Depending on the type and severity of heart disease, induction of labour may not be recommended because of the effect the medicines used may have on the heart.
It's usually best to wait for spontaneous labour (labour that starts naturally), unless the baby must be born early because you're unwell or the baby is not growing normally.
You will not be automatically advised to have a caesarean birth because you have congenital heart disease. This will depend on the type and severity of your heart disease. Your healthcare team will discuss all your options with you.
However, it may be recommended that you have a pain-free labour, which means that you should have an epidural, and your doctor may use ventouse or forceps to assist you during the birth, as this avoids the strain of having to push the baby out.
