Beta Blockers & Pregnancy

Posted By Debbie on August 01, 1999 at 16:12:34
I am 33 years old and have been on Sectrol for almost two years now, due to neurocardiogenic syncopi.  I consulted a Perinatalogist at the beginning of my pregnancy and was told that the medication had NO contraindications in pregnancy and that there was no reason for me to stop taking it, even on a trial basis.
However, the last time I picked up my prescription, I noticed the attachment on the package said "Do not Breast-Feed while taking this medication".  I can't imagine not breast feeding (#1) and if it's bad for a baby once born, why isn't it bad for a baby "in utero"?
I will meet with my Electrophysiology Cardiologist next month and will discuss this again with her (I have a Pacemaker too, but it's been turned off since the beta blockers work), but I would really welcome some additional input on the subject.
Thank you very much,
Debbie
