Does anyone else have a heart defect and pregnant?

Just wondered...I have a VSD and its my first pregnancy.  My cardiologist just told me she has to see me when im 6 months and then I have to be premedicated for delivery.

I have PSVT & arrhythmia.  My cardiologist wants to see me towards the end of 2nd tri to discuss labor.

::butting in::   I don't either, but my sis has WPW.   She had to wear a walking EKG for the last few weeks of her preg, but was able to deliver naturally both times.

I do, I had TOF and a double chamber right ventricle.I have had two open heart surgeries. I am high risk and get an echo every 4 weeks so far. I have to have a c-section but thats ok!! Good luck to all of you ladies on your pregnancies!

No defect, per say but I am constantly in sinus tachycardia.  Normal rhthym, abnormal rate.  My resting is 135...I am worried about delivering, and what might happen.  I've let my Ep/Cardiologist know that I'm pregnant and i'm waiting to see what he has to say.  Other than that I go out of rhythm occasioanlly, usually atrial tachycardia.  I have MVP with mild regurg.  Mostly just annoying stuff that makes my heart work overtime.

I had VSD and an aorta valve defect.  I had surgery at age four to fix them, and only have a slight murmer.  I don't know how this is going to affect my delivery options.  I have an appointment on Wednesday and will ask about it.
