C-Sec or Normal Delivery if Asmathic

I’ve childhood asthma that can be triggered by bad flu or fever when secretion of phlegm and/mucus blocks the windpipe. Am considering whether to c-sec or normal delivery as I heard from an ex-colleague about her own delivery experience that a lady in normal delivery passed away during labour as her asthma was triggered, but not sure of how serious her asthma was. Any mummies have experience or advice from doctor?
