I am not sure where to post but hopefully someone can help me! I took my dd to her kindergarten check-up yesturday and they said she has a heart mummer! Now I have to wait for a specialist to call and schedule an echocardiogram and I am terrified! The doctor said I shouldn't stress since I am pg, but my baby is sick and may have something wrong with her heart----how the hell am I suppossed to relax??????????(sorry for bad launguage!)
Hun Firstly dont panic..Heart murmers are quiet common.My Eldest DD has one.It is quiet possible that the hole has been there since birth. So the know if she has a hole and where it is? Sometimes they can Hear a murmer and it can be a tiny little hole. My DD had hers diagnosed at 10 months. And It is still there but closing. Have you ever noticed your DD getting short on breath? Going blue around the mouth after prolonged activity (like running or Swimming)? Wait to hear What the Dr says. PLease dont panic. It isnt good for you.
Im sorry your going through this, as if being PG isnt stressful enough! I bet things will turn out just fine, Like the PP says they are pretty common so try not to panic even though I know it is easier said than done when it comes to our kids, I will keep her in my prayers and good Luck with everything.
I too know many people with heart murmers. My husband's sister and brother both have one. one of my best friends in high shcool had one too. She just had to take medicine before she went to the dentist. I'm glad that you found out so now you will know in case of future doctor or dentist visits. Let us knwo how the app. goes!
