High risk with heart arrhythmia

Sm

Hey ladies,

I am 8 weeks, just had my booking appointment with the midwife and had a private scan and everything looks normal. ♥️

I’ve been put on high risk due to my history of heart arrhythmia. Unfortunately, throughout all my episodes, either the ambulance didn’t arrive on time or the heart monitor wasn’t on me when I had an episode. So, the type I have is unknown, but I was taking beta blockers daily to treat/reduce occurrence. I am not taking the beta blockers anymore but the midwife said that arrhythmias always get worse in pregnancy.

Heart rate is 180-190bpm during an arrhythmic episode and have never lasted more than 10min...

So, as you can imagine, just a little worried!

Thanks for reading.
