Pregnancy with Brugada

I am new to this group. I have been diagnosed with Brugada when my daughter turned 6 months. She is going to be 5 next month. We are considering another pregnancy and having known my condition and having ICD fitted, I am seeking other women who were pregnant with Brugada and hoping they would share their experience with me. Thank you!

Hello Pet04

Welcome to the forum.

Have you considered asking your GP to refer you for some pre conceptual counselling ?

There are several places in the UK that run this type of service usually in larger heart centres and maternity units such as Leeds, Manchester, Cambridge etc

Maybe have a look at the Arrthymia Alliance website as well to see if you can link up with another mother in your situation

Hi Pet04, in addition to the excellent advice you've already been given, if you're a member of Facebook there's a closed group called group called ICD-crtd support uk. You may also find advice/experience from a member of that group.
