I'm pregnant with IST and PVC's, worried about delivery

Has anyone had a successful delivery with Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia/PVC's? My HR has been pretty controlled with metoprolol through most of my pregnancy, but still goes way higher than it should with minimal exertion.  This is my first child and I'm so afraid of how my heart with handle delivery or c-section if that is necessary. I would love to hear any positive stories! I just need some reassurance since all of this gives me so much anxiety.

This happens a lot (expecting moms with tachyrhythmias).  It more common than you think but you never hear of it hurting Mom or baby.  I've been on this board since 2009, I monitor it 95% of the time and have never come across anyone getting hurt by it.  

Talk with your OB/GYN to get some reassurance and plan it out how to address during delivery.  Talking about it and taking proactive action will help reduce your anxiety levels.

I had bad arrhythmia issues back in 2009.  I had to have a surgery in 2013 that was complex, I was scared to death.  I didn't have any problems.
