Having my high-risk dr. appointment today!

Hi all,
I am going in this afternoon to meet with a high-risk ob/gyn specialist for a 'pre-conception consultation' to assess my risks for pregnancy with my condition and pacemaker, etc. My hubby and I want another child (ours are 10 and 9) but we had been waiting a long time to get my fainting spells with my NCS/VVS under control, etc. The pacemaker one year ago has been a lifesaver!!!! It is great to have a pulse and oxygen to my brain!!! Now that I am 'under control' with the pacemaker, we are hopeful that there won't be any problems with trying again. Anyways, wish us luck, we are getting very excited!!!

Hi all,

My high-risk specialist appt. went great! He is still leaving me as classified as "high-risk" because of the pacemaker and my condition, but he doesn't think I will have any problems carrying a baby. Which is what I was expecting to hear, just feels better to have that confirmation behind me! So I am about to start on the prenatal vitamins and get off the birth control this coming month! My hubby and I are super-excited (along with the rest of the family and extended family of course!!!). I'm feeling great! Before the pacemaker, I couldn't get pregnant (wasn't allowed) because of all the Rx drugs I was taking. But now I am drug-free and my heart is beating and I'm sooo finally ready to have another child. Wish us luck, and bless you all!!!

Yay!

I thought all doctor appt's were high risk, at least to your wallet!! (:

I just want to share about the quality of life after my pacemaker, and hopefully increase awareness that lifestyles do not have to be drastically modified just because we are pacemaker recipients.
