PM & Pregnancy

PM and Pregnancy

I finally got the go ahead to have a baby! I am super excited yet scared. Evidentially, Coreg is a drug that can be taken during a pregnancy so that is a huge relief!

I can guarantee that I will have the only baby in town run on my pacer! Wild huh?

Has anyone out there gone through a pregnancy with a PM?

Hi 4UGiGi,
I just want to say its great to hear your good news. Ive just had a little Girl called Grace. Shes 6 weeks old and absolutely Gorgeous.
I am getting a pacemaker in the near future so have done things in a different order to you. Anyhow, I was totally reassured by my medical team that there is nothing to worry about being pregnant with a pacemaker. As long as your docs have given the all clear regarding the reason for the pacemaker there is no difference to any other pregnancy.
So enjoy and good luck
Julie

Hi,

I too am pregnant with a pacemaker. None of the doctors here have any experience with my case so they are all a little nervous. I am not due until July so if you deliver before me, let us all know how it went and what to expect. Good luck with everything!

CONGRATULATIONS

what wonderful news for you. I am a labor and delivery nurse, 21 years old and just had my pacemaker--i very much would like to be a mommy one day please let me know how things progress..i know here we just tell patients with any heart problem they should be seeing a high-risk OB for their pregnancy and stay up to date with their cardiologist. Best luck

If anything feel better

Hi there- I have had my pacemaker for eight years and have gone through one pregnancy and felt great knowing I had my pacemaker to manage any irregularities that may have occurred. Honestly I was considered like any other OB patient. Congratulations and good luck!!

You know you're wired when...

You fondly named your implanted buddy.
