arrythmia and pregnancy

Posted By dee dee on October 31, 1998 at 20:42:46:







I am a 31 year old female and 7 1/2 mos. pregnant.  Before i got pregnant, i was on birth control pills for 10 years.  I was off the pills for 10 mos. before i became pregnant.  after 7 mos. of being off of the pill, i started experiencing irregular heartbeats that i felt as being a fluttering feeling in my heart.  i got those iregular heartbeats only the week before my period  for 3 mos in a row.  when i became pregnant, i didn't experience these at all for the first 3 mos.  at 4 mos. i started getting them again and have gotten them everyday since.  i have been checked by 2 cardiologists and have worn a holter monitor, had ecocardiogram and ekg. and all is normal except for etopic beats or pvc's noted.  i am told this is caused by hormones and would like to know what info. you have on pvc's and pregnancy.
thank you for your time,
