Pacemaker & Pregnant.
i have a pacemaker (st. judes) I am 6 in a half months pregnant & i was wondering would i be able to deliver naturally? or would i HAVE to have a c-section ? Because my obgyn wants me to have a c-section "to be on the safe side" but he doesn't understand i have had 2 open heart surgeies and 5 pacemakers put in(due to batteriers dying) & i just want an expert opinion if i should deliver naturally, get a new obgyn that will alow me to deliver naturally or just some advice. Please & Thank you.
well it might be better to have a c-section, cause the stress on your heart while giving natural birth might be to much to handle and that would be really bad if your pacemaker failed and they didnt have the baby out yet cause they would have to do an emercency c-section and have to fix your pacemaker again
