I am not ready to have my second baby...right this instant... but the idea is starting to be discussed more and more. Maybe next year! Wondering what kind of preperations if any, I would need to do before I got pregnant as far as the PM goes.

I have a few other things to square away first LOL....but want to be ready!

I know some of you have had babies with a PM....please chime in and offer feedback!
THANKS

 

 

Having a pm is usually unrelated to having a baby! I did it twice. Maryanne had three, I think Gellia had two.

The meds you're on may affect things, you'll have to ask your dr about it.

 

I was referring to the meds when I said "a few things to square away first" but thats my summer mission! Be med free!

Then school year mission....baby time LOL

 

And you will be off them before you know it!

But I was thinking you're also on a beta blocker, that's not something you can wean off and some of them can't be taken during pregnancy.

 

I don't take that anymore. That was a one time thing. They gave it to me to treat the inappropriate sinus tachy but after keeping a log for a month they deemed it appropriate tachy. Like when I was shoveling I hit 230-not good....but explainable because I was on the beta.

No more shoveling for me!

 

I've had my pm since I was 10, had my first baby at 21 and my second at 24. I am now 25. Both healthy full term baby girls. Other then the fact that my battery was low with the first one and they choose to wait until after I had her to replace it, everything was as it should have been. The dr's kept a close eye on me and both girls but everything went fine. They did a fetal echo during both pregnancies to make sure the girl's hearts were ok, which they were. And my dr.'s also choose to do c-sections to control the situation more, but everything went fine. They have noticed that the two pregnancies have cause my batteries to drain faster and I have a lead that is now going bad. Most likely it will be replaced next month. Other then a quick check up with your cardiologist, I'd say you should be set for baby # 2, Good luck!
