You need to tell your obstetrician. Normally, you also need to see the cardiologist and Obstetrician at the same hospital like what I did. They'll work out the best and safe way for you.
If still no one reply your post here, you might post it at the Pregnancy Forum. Is this your first pregnancy? Are they going to prep you some antibiotic when you're in labor? Sorry, I can't help you any.
