I have cardiomyopathy and am currently 35+5 days. Specialists have been keeping a very close eye on me and are planning to induce at 38 weeks. High risk Dr's will advise u of the best action to take throughout ur pregnancy

I know she had to have heart surgery when she was a baby and almost died. Both her pregnancies were normal. Just was under the constant care of a high risk Dr. Both her and her boys are healthy. Try not to add extra stress. Find a high risk Dr and explain your condition.

I had atrial septic defect. I had natural birth they did ecg at 36-37 weeks to ensure all is good with heart and that I've not had any issues for 12+ months. I was totally low risk the whole pregnancy. Baby boy born after a speedy 2 hours active labour

My neice does. She has a 16 month old and a 2 month old. She had both boys by c-section because the Dr didn't want to risk stressing her heart out.

I have PVC(premature ventricular contraction) not serious but a heart condition. Pregnancy has made me have more episodes racing,skipping heart beats. When there bad I get dizziness, lightheaded almost like I'm going to pass out. I take Lopressor to calm the episodes. I also have been seeing my cardiologist every 3 months to make sure everything is going OK with my heart as pregnancy puts strain on the heart.
