PVC and pregnancy

by Jodi, Dec 13, 1999 12:00AM
I am 4 months pregnant and just been diagnosed with PVC.  I had an attack on Friday.  I went to have an EKG, but it stopped about 10 minutes before I got to the clinic.  My doctor is having me wear a heart monitor for the  next month.  I am wondering about complications that could occur during delivery or C Section.  My last child was a C section.

Dear Jodi,



It is very common for women to have PVC's during pregnancy.  This will cause no complications for delivery or C section.
