Expecting!

Well my name is Rachel. Ive been a member of this site for a while now but I tend to drift away with the running around of life. So now im expecting! Im 7 weeks (prego). I just wanted to see if anyone had any input with having a pacemaker and having a baby! I have had some slight chest pressure, but other then that I feel fine...... then again im only 7 weeks. lol Thanks for all your help!

oh Patch, behave! LOL

Congratulations, Rachel!!!! Best wishes for a smooth, uneventful pregnancy.

I had two babies after I got my pm. My ob had a quick chat with my cardiologist to confirm that he didn't consider me high risk and that I didn't have anything genetic we needed to be watching for in the babies. I had a heart monitor during delivery as well as preventative antibiotics, other than that I was no different from any other mom delivering.

Oh! And if you get morning sickness- though if you've made it this far without you are probably home free, lucky you- avoid phenergan. They give it out like candy but it's not a good idea for us because it can affect your hr.

If you have any questions, please ask away! There are several of us here who have been through it. I don't know about your doctors, but I was a first for both my ob and cardiologist.

Awesome Rach

Rachel, You Must be feeling much better. When we first met here in the pm club you weren't feeling so well. You were a newbie then we had some nice chats and correspondence. Glad to see how much improvement you have made. I know you would not have taken on this responsibility if you weren't feeling great. Congratulations and be sure and ask all the ladies here all the questions. Many of them have been there. Bowlrbob

Congrats!

Congrats!

I too was a first for my OB and Cardiologist. Although I was considered high risk (my problem is genetic). My pregnancy went great. Lots of monitoring and a special "birth plan". If you have any questions feel free to ask. Best of luck!

fantastic news!

Blessings to you,
