Pregnant and Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP)?

Anyone experienced this?

yep! I haven't had many episodes till starting 2 days ago with this pregnancy. im 39wks and ive recently started having 3-5 minute drawn out painful episodes that even have a lingering pain afterwards. ive never experienced this kind of pain with my mvp. usually all it takes to ease the pain is change position and that one deep (but painful) "breakthrough" breath. I should probably bring it up to my doctor since they're inducing me on tuesday, I dont know if I could handle heart attack type pain during a contraction. I never had my mvp act up with my last pregnancy though.

Are you have a vaginal birth or a C-section? Thanks for the response by the way. It's appreciated.

 

[Jaggersmommy]

vaginal & it was induced. you'll be fine.

 

[Jaggersmommy]

My mum had 2 c-sections because of mvp. Of course this was 30 odd years ago. She didn't want to have the section until labour started so in both cases she was about 8cm before they got us out and she was fine.

Perfect. Sounds good. I can't wait to begin this pregnancy process. Hopefully I can catch this egg. I know I missed it this month. According to my chart, it appears that I've O'd already this month and DH and I didn't BD enough.
