pregnancy and WPW
Posted: 02-21-08 01:58am

Hi, im 16 years old and i was diagonsed with WPW when i was born and me and my boyfriend are starting to settle down. I know im still young but were ready. And today my mother told me that because i have this heart problem i am unable to have kids. When she said that i almost started to cry. Having kids is one of the only things that i have ever want. I have been saying since i was young that i wanted a child and i cant seem to find any information about this. So can someone please tell me, am i able to have children even though i have WPW? Sad

I have wpw. The palpitation started at 6 years old. Medicated at 15. At 27 yrs old, I have the His bundle ablation. After that I remain in wpw pattern but not in syndrome. Then my medication withdrawal.

In 1987, I have a healthy baby girl by normal birth. Following in 1989, I have another healthy baby girl. This one was having a little trouble during pregnancy but Ok to keep up to full term by staying in the hospital for 3 months. It wasn't anything related to heart.

Check with your doctor for an OK. Did your cardiologist recommand an ablation? Are you on any medication?
