I have PCOS, heart murmur, and have been experiencing heart arrhythmia. I actually just got out of the hospital after they monitored my heart for 24 hours. I’m 37 weeks now and simply experiencing shortness of breath, and occasionally feeling uncomfortable, as my heart beats off beat and really hard. They told me that my birth plan will almost definitely have an epidural to help my delivery be easier. Possibly an assisted birth too (forceps/vacuum) which is not that bad! I’m planning on having a second child after this. A birth slightly not how I had in mind is not too bad of a price to pay for having your own child! Get your heart checked out before you get pregnant if you are concerned, and don’t be worried if they come back abnormal. My EKG and my heart ultrasound were abnormal yet my doctor gave me the OK to go into labor. Good luck<3

I think you would be fine as long as you were monitored closely by a doctor.

You could always have a C-Section. Thats what they normally do when someone has a heart condition. Consult a Doctor
