could use some words of comfort

[stephiel05]

about ten months ago five days after i had my youngest i was taken to the er with a heart rate of 212 i was told i had post partum cardio myopathy. i was also told if i got pregnant again it would kill me. well here it is ten months later and i am 35 weeks pregnant. im seeing a high risk dr on a regular basis but with my due date getting closer im getting more and more scared that my heart will go that high again or that the labor will end up killing me. so if any one can give me some nice words of comfort i would appriciate it. just a scared momma of soon to be four. thank you for reading my long post :)

Hey sweetie, with all the risks that are involved. And it should be on your record at the hospital to what has happened in the pass. I'm sure they will keep an eye on you and make sure everything will go alright. You could also talk to your dr or midwife and see what options you have. And see what is more safer for you and your baby. Goodluck with everything and I hope everything works out for you.

Sounds scary. Would a planned c-section in a controlled environment help with the heart rate issue?

You're 35 weeks already and it sounds like you're taking good care of yourself so I'm sure you have nothing to worry about :) just take it easy, you're almost done.
