Freaked out - reassurance needed please

So, I have a midwife appointment tomorrow and after a lot of research and thinking I had decided that the right birth option for me and baby might be a section. I had a really terrible first labour and looking at the risks I think this would be better as planned / more controlled (obviously I know there are still lots if risks).

Thing is, I was prepared to go to my appointment tomorrow to state this but I've really freaked myself out. Heart attack - 0.19% - I know this is small but it's really shaken me up. I've never heard of this and know lots of people who have had very successful sections (and even those less successful have mainly been around recovery).

I don't really know what I'm looking for here, I guess reassurance, but have a horrible feeling now that it's not the right decision. (That's if it's even agreed).

Anyone able to share any stories / put my mind at ease? Thanks lovely ladies x

@rubyroot - thanks for your comment. I too had an epidural and could pretty much feel everything (I was induced too - this was the start of a lot of problems) although did go on to have forceps delivery (again, caused a lot of problems for me - thankfully not baby). X
