Wolff Parkinsons White (WPW) ablation procedure while pregnant
About a month before finding out I was pregnant I learned that I had WPW in the emergency room. I couldn't even get in to seeing a dr until after I had gotten pregnant. My symptoms and episodes have got worse and more frequent due to the pregnancy I believe. I'm 25 weeks pregnant now and my dr told me I need to get the ablation done because I'm now having 2-4 episodes a day. He's worried about labor and me delivering or even being able to finish the rest of my pregnancy without the procedure being done. I tried the metoprolol and had an allergic reaction so he kinda gave up on the medication idea. He wants to do the procedure at 28 weeks. I'm so scared. What can I expect for the procedure and after the procedure? I know WPW is rare but if anyone's had ablation please tell me your experience!!
