heart murmur
Was anyone else told that they had s heart murmur after they found out they where pregnant at their check up ? I was told that they would keep an eye on it and take me for a scan but I haven't heard anything from my doctors. Unsure if its anything to worry about?

Hey, yes I went to the gp for a check on my heart as I have a strong history of heart problems in the family the dr found a murmur and sent me for an ECG, they weren't concerned as its never caused me any problems pre pregnancy. They also did and ECG on the baby whilst I was pregnant and again was happy the heart was strong and healthy! It can be really worrying but it's mostly just a precautionary procedure x

Ah thanks, reassured me :) I was just worried because the doctor hasn't followed it up or anything or explain to me what it is o.o

It doesn't cause any issues Hun. It might mean you need some antibiotics during labour that's all x

Worth chasing it up with your doctor tho and tell your midwife too xx

I also developed a heart murmur during pregnancy was told it was due to more blood been produced for baby and the heart having to work a little harder, i had a scan and all was fine, it went after i have birth!x

I was born with a heart murmur and the consultant sent me for a ECG (echocardiogram - an ultrasound of your heart) whilst I was pregnant, it was just a precautionary check and once they got the results and everything was fine I was put back under midwife led care. Most heart murmurs are "innocent" I was told that my heart is just a bit more noisey than other people's! X

I had a stent put I'm mine when I was 14 I'm 21 and pregnant and my doctors think they heard something but have no records to go off of. I was told my heart might not hold up since it has to put in a lot of over time.
