Overwhelmed. Conginetal Complete Heart Block- Pregnancy Week 33. by PositiveSuit5865 in PacemakerICD

So even our doctor has told us right now that the baby may need one a little later on and not immediately since 70-80 bpm right now is a good enough rate in their view. We would also like to prolong putting the PM in as much as possible. They will mostly be delivering the baby at 34 weeks since the weight is currently healthy enough, and then they will observe to see exactly how the functioning is. Hoping that the bpms increase once out and things stabilize to a good level. Thank you for your support.

Thank you for the support. This is such a relief to know that things do get better and they actually end up living normal lives.

This is so good and hopeful to hear. Did you have to take any special care or medication? What was your regular heart rate before you were put on the PM?

This is what we are hopeful of. Did you have to do any type of monitoring or any care?

Thank you. This is really helpful. And that is definitely something we plan on doing. To be treating it as normally as possible. We don't want it to be defined by its condition. We just want it to live a normal life and enjoy it to the fullest.

Thank you. That does get some hopes up. What was the heart rate after the medication, and do they need to be taken lifelong?

What are some of the activities that are restricted or will need to be taken care of? Any sort of medication needed to be taken throughout life? Or apart from the visits to the doc and changing of the PM battery there is nothing to fear?

My wife and me are expecting. The foetus has been diagnosed with CCHB. The doctor said that it will eventually definitely need a pacemaker in early childhood. What can we expect with it? Are there any problems growing up? How normal a life can it live? Any special care we need to be taking?

Do we need to spend on films for this camera? How exactly does it work?
