Hi
I am 10 weeks pregnant with 3dc and just visited the Midwife for booking - Came out feeling upset as due to me suffering serve palpitations caused by an ectopic heartbeat they have put me as high risk - I had these in my last pregnancy and was seen by cardiologist, had a scan, 72 hour ECG night in hospital and was told these are fine and just annoying and are causing no damage to my heart etc.. said to the Midwife that if the Cardiologist said they were ok surely i could use the birthing suite rather than having to be on labour ward to which she said no as it was my heart and the strain of pregnancy and labour made it have to work harder - It never scared me before, but i came out feeling really worried about my heart and felt that if there was any risk to it or me that i shouldn't continue - I have an 24 hour ECG and will be seeing the cardio dr in November - anyone else suffer these?? please only positive replies as I am far to anxious for the negative ones x
