Hi, I'm glad I saw this because I also have the cardiomyopathy & pregnant. My heart has stopped alltogether 6 times & I have had to have heart caths &  have been hospitalized many times with this.But my Dr.told me that would perform an abortion for me because the risks of a normal pregnancy & delivery was VERY rare.So I am really scarred because I don't believe in abortion & I really want this baby. But I don't want to die & leave my baby w/o a mother.But the Dr. told me that it's very serious because your heart has to pump 50 % more blood than usuall & that you don't have to worry about the birth alone it's the ENTIRE pregnancy.If you find out any more info please get back to me & I will do the same.I have to go & see a heart dr. in the next week or so.I'll let you know what I am told. I am Kelly from South Carolina But I live in New Mexico with my fiance' now My E-mail is Xx_Hip_Baby_Girl_xX***@**** Please lets talk.Good Luck to you!!!!!!!!!!
