Pregnant with Mild MVP - mg Cardio Suggest C-Section
I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and I just had my cardio check-up today. I asked my cardiologist since I’m already in my 3rd trimester if there’s anything I should know or prepare for on the day I give birth, and what I should inform my OB about since I have mild MVP.
He said he can’t really predict what might happen during labor or how epidural might affect me whether I end up having a normal delivery or a C-section. But he did mention that he would prefer me not to push too much during labor because straining can also affect the heart, so there’s a possibility that I might need a C-section.
I still haven’t talked to my OB about this yet, but I just wanted to ask if anyone here had a similar experience where their cardiologist suggested a C-section because of a heart condition. Did you follow the advice? What did you end up doing?
Also for moms who experienced a C-section, how was it? Was it scary? Sorry for the many questions, this is my first pregnancy and I’m honestly just trying to prepare myself.
