Thanks for the comments it's just cos I'm completely pacemaker dependent ect and doctors said my heart might not cope with the stress ect but I've got 14 weeks left and so far everything is going fine and baby is healthy

YES! I have. They weren't worried with me though - same diagnosis, completed HB.

I did feel short of breath near the end, but that is typical pregnancy problem. My labor was uncomplicated. At about 5cm they did give me 10L O2 because of decels in my son's HR. But overall, it was uncomplicated. He will be 5 years old next month!

You are planning a hospital birth, right? They will have a monitor on your belly to show contractions and the baby's HR. This lets you know if the baby is stressed or not. They will also have monitors on you, regularly taking your BP, O2 saturation, etc.

Message me if you want to talk about it more. Good luck!
