28 week update!

[Gerie]

Hello everyone! I am officially 28 weeks and 3 days. I am a little late on posting how my appointment with the cardiologist last Tuesday. He seems to be pleased at how I'm progressing. My echo, which I do every month showed a 45-55% EF, which to me seemed to be a wide range, but he said that he was happy with it. I had been experiencing a little bit more palpitations the last week, but he didn't seem too worried about it. We are still waiting on a date from my OB for a scheduled C-section. I can't wait for that. I can't believe that I could have the baby as early as 6 weeks! My first baby was born at 34 weeks, but they are hoping this baby could "cook" a little more. :D Anyway, I thought I'd share how we are doing. I am getting a little nervous though. I pray everything will go well this time compared to last time.

COngrats Gerie- things sound good for you both! Your EF is strong! Are the palps anything they treat ? I am 13 wks preg. and the palps are so strong and fairly frequent. I dont remember them with my first - but I was blissfully unaware of any heart issue so maybe they were there then too. Just wondering. Also, when did you have your first echo?? Thanks and congrats on all your good news! Julie

I'm glad to hear the pregnancy is going so well. Keep yourself happy and healthy and baby Anthony will be here in no time. Can't wait to see a picture of the precious little baby boy.
