Any other mamas have a heart condition?

Question

So I have a lifelong heart condition that we found 3 years ago, I had my first daughter 8 years ago with this issue and it was unknown. 
I had to have heart surgery 3 years ago and am about to deliver my 2nd child on Friday. I have a great Stanford cardiologist and OB and they meet monthly to review my chart and status. They have taken extra precautions the entire pregnancy, beginning at 30 weeks I have had weekly NST/AFI tests and I will not be allowed to deliver past 39 weeks. I have to have an epidural immediately because pain makes my heart rate increase and that worsens my condition. Pain management is their first priority. I will be hooked up to an EKG machine the entire labor and delivery and will have a cardiac nurse along with all of my OB nurses. 
I have been fully on board, of course, but am starting to get nervous. Do any other moms on here have heart conditions? How are you coping?

Answer

Congenital heart failure here. I was born with a AV canal and 2 holes in my heart. I've have 3 open heart surgeries and 2 pacemaker operations. I'm 12 weeks 2 days and everything is good so far. They told me I would be induced but hopefully I can deliver natural (no c-section). I'll be seen every 2 weeks by the specialist, I see the cardiologist every 3 months, and the regular ob every 4 weeks for now. Good luck to you.

Answer

I have aifib and I'm 12 weeks pregnant with my 4 child. It's seem like in the area I live nobody wants to see me.  Freaking out. I might have to end up going to Houston. I have heart palpitations and started 3 years ago. I leave it in God hands. I have faith that my baby will perfect and I will be fine as well.

Answer

I have congestive right heart failure

Answer

I have SVT- which isn't as much of a concern. But I also have Ventricular Tachacardia- which my doctors are more concerned about. They told me I have to have an epideral so that I can keep my heart rate lower and hopefully avoid an episode. What condition do you have?
