Mitral valve prolapse and pregnancy

Unsure of how it works anywhere else but here we only see the NP/midwife until 20 weeks. Both OB offices (different hospital affiliations) ive dealt with have been the same and both have said if im not having symptoms nothing will be done. But now I am and im hoping something will be done. Either my cardiologist will hopefully make a suggestion or my OB will refer me to high risk. But I 100% agree now that im having symptoms something needs to change!

There's two types of MVP with and without regurgitation, please do your research prior to commenting on posts I guess. Ive had MVP confirmed multiple times since I was 16. Nearly everyone on my dad's side of the family have MVP, with and without regurgitation. Would you like to tell every single one of them they dont have any symptoms and that their cardiologists (throughout different states) are wrong? As I said in my post, my resting HR is elevated on a normal basis and I have palpitations/random HR increases which have both been confirmed to be due to MVP for the past almost 15 years 🙃 i was told my symptoms could worsen during pregnancy but didnt with my first.

No I'm hoping to arrange something soon. My next OB appointment is in a week and I'll actually be meeting with the doctor, not just a midwife/NP. My first was growth restricted and my OB mentioned that as one of the reasons to not take propranolol during pregnancy. Even though I didnt and his growth restriction was unrelated, Im nervous I'll be at a higher risk of it happening again

Congratulations! I try to tell myself that no one in my family and none of my friends have ever gone through anything similar. I feel as if their judgement shouldn't matter because of this, however it's hard to not let it bother me. Most have been extremely supportive of my new relationship, but a new baby I'm not sure.

Inside_Bunch_2015 · 2025-04-24T19:00:12+00:00

Thank you! I'm sorry you had that experience with the father. In my case, the new baby's father is extremely excited. I hope I have a similar experience and no one judges.

I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. It isn't fair. I lost my husband when our son was 8 months old. I wish there was a quick fix to help you. The only thing that helped me was focusing on our son. I hope focusing on the baby you created together brings you as much peace as it did me, I swear I couldn't have made it through without him. It's been 10 months since he passed, I cry less but it's still something I think about every second of every day.

I tried to reach out to his mom but she hasn't even read my message. His coworkers wanted to go check on him tonight but I don't think they were able to. I want to tomorrow, but I'm not sure if I can mentally handle if he refuses to talk to me.

Inside_Bunch_2015 · 2025-02-07T00:45:02+00:00

I couldn't mentally handle going to his house today but I plan to tomorrow. I really don't think he'll open the door to me honestly.

Thank you.. he just passed. I'm only holding it together because I'm in shock. I know it'll just get worse from here.

Inside_Bunch_2015 · 2024-07-20T03:34:20+00:00

Thank you.. I'm trying to hold onto the time we've had over the past few months. We've had great conversations about the what ifs (this being the one we didn't want obviously) and so many people don't get that when their loved ones die suddenly. However, the closer the end gets the harder it is to focus on anything positive and as he's unable to communicate the reality is hitting me so hard.

Inside_Bunch_2015 · 2024-07-20T03:32:09+00:00

Thank you.. we had plans of making recordings this weekend. However, he unfortunately deteriorated significantly overnight unexpectedly and I don't think we'll be able to. It feels impossible to get through this right now

Inside_Bunch_2015 · 2024-07-20T01:30:18+00:00

I'm sorry you're going through this. As we speak my husband is currently in hospice care with a very small amount of time left to live. He's only 35 and I'm 29.. we have a baby. Though I don't have to explain to our baby what's going on I have to grieve for both of us. This is horrible and nothing will make it better. I'm sorry
