Well i have my little blessing!!! A litle boy named Landon Oliver he was three weeks eatly. 6lbs 10oz 20.5in long. So everything was great.....i loved being pregnant!!! One problem. I started feeling like i couldnt catch my breath. Which i just put off to being pregnant. It just kept getting worse and worse. I ended up making it till 36weeks and 5days. I went to the dr to get an echo....just to make sure everything was okay for delivery. Well when three drs walked into the room i knew something was wrong. It ended up that my EF dropped from 65 to 40. So they told me i was in the early stages of heart failure. What a scary feeling for a 23 year old. So they admited me to the hospital and put me into labor. I have the best little boy/blessing in the world. But now im stuck with knowing that my heart is getting weaker and weaker. Super hard to deal with for a 23 year old. We were also told that I wouldnt be able to make it threw another pregnancy. I know im super blessed to have the one baby.....im just worried about my heart.Just a little bit of advice. If you have a heart problem and plan on getting pregnant....dont just rely on what your ob says. Follow very close with your heart dr.
