Q: Heart Problems

J/w...Does anyone have a heart condition?? I have a serisous one called long qt syndrome, and am wondering what labor will be like for me. Doesnt sound like it will affect my heart much because the doc hasnt said anything about a c section. Does anyone else have heart probs??

Nope, I once had high cholestoral, I think it will be okay! If you get the epidural, you won't feel much.

Hmm, well if worse comes to worse, I guess you could always get a c-section. I am sure everything will turn out for you.

Let them know you have long q t and would epidural effect it? I thought it was a sudden jolt or shock that brought on the heart failure

Long qt syndrome? You can have an episode from sudden movements, scares, and pain. Lol..Labor=pain, my one concern!

I was wondering what was going on with her because she was trying to be nice and then she just flipped the script for no apparent reason
