I have had one child and am currently pregnant with my second since having a pacemaker put in 2011 when I was 27. It’s not common for someone with a pacemaker to have a child but with some monitoring and precautions It is safe.

I have two children, both born after being paced, no complications or special monitoring. Having a pacer has nothing to do with the ability to have kids. The underlying heart condition may make it more challenging, that's a question for your doctor. In my case, my heart couldn't have handled a pregnancy without the pacer, so the pacer made it possible by giving me a normal heart rate. My cardiologist and OB had a conversation early on so everyone was on the same page. Cardiologists don't have pregnant patients very often and OB's don't have paced patients so it's good for them to talk.
