SVT and pregnancy

[Breanne30]

I was wondering if there are any other moms out there going through what I'm going through. I was diagnosed with SVT  and a couple weeks later I found out we were pregnant with our 4th child. I can't have my surgery obviously because there are to many risk. My attacks haven't been that bad latley and I have been able to work myself through them. It is absolutely the scariest thing I have ever been through. Please share you're story. I feel like my husband doesn't understand what I'm going through.

I have svt was diagnosed 2yrs ago. I had two ablations last one was 2/2015. I'm 38yrs old and 16weeks prego. I had one attack so far around 6weeks it lasted for like 3mins (but that seems like forever). I seen my cardiologist he gave me meds if it starts to happen more frequently to take as needed. They say its not life threatening but that is the scariest feeling in the world.

I'm 10 weeks but I work in the electrophysiology/cardiac Cath lab. Hang in there with your svt. It may get a bit worse. Try to stay away from beta blockers if you can help it.

There's really not much they can do because of the risk to the baby. I need a ablation but obviously that will not happen til baby comes. I'm so teriffed. You never know when there going to come on. I can't even be left alone with my children or drive. That's how serious it is. Svt and pregnancy don't mix at all. Pregnancy makes svt worse and unfortunately meds don't really work either.
