Does anyone else here have Mitral Valve Prolapse?

I've been diagnosed with it for years now and I know doctors say it's a heart condition the wont interfere with a healthy pregnancy, but it is still something I definitely have been feeling an increase in being pregnant. Just curious if anyone else has this condition as well!

Doctor said same to me will be ok.

Ugh im so glad someone who has it as well is apart of the group! Have you noticed a few more irregular heartbeats?

I don't have a mitral valve prolapse, but have ARVD, which is a rhythm condition. Pregnancy exacerbated the palpitations, but it was never too bad. It was worse for me PP due to stress and lack of sleep.

@ashlelyn, I also have MVP! I have also been told that it won't interfere with a healthy pregnancy. I am planning to keep a closer watch on my heart rate during exercise.

Slightly. I don't know if it will be more noticeable as time goes on. I have been more on the look out when exercising as PP mentioned.

I do. I had just had an echo and met with my cardiologist just before I found out I was pregnant b/c I was having a ton of PVCs. All checked out fine, but it's definitely annoying. When I'm laying down I can definitely feel irregular heart beat, but it's really no different than before. I'm going to see cardiologist again in a month and he and my midwife are in contact so if anything should be an issue hopefully we'll catch it.

I have a "mystery heart condition" and my heart rate fluctuates and can get up into the 180s with daily activities. My doctor also heard a murmur that she thought sounded like MVP but I haven't completed my testing to confirm since I found out I was pregnant. Have any of you had heart rate issues like this? I read they sometimes occur alongside MVP.
