I'm so sorry to hear you have this worry about your baby. It looks like there is nobody here who is able to share this experience.
The NHS website suggests the British Heart Foundation for support and also this charity c-r-y.org.uk/ . I hope they are able to help support you at this difficult time, and that you have a good outcome with a healthy baby.
Hi steph in my family me and my siblings and dad all have long qt. I have 6 children and carried to full term and even over. Though with my last two they both had low heart rates and doctors recommended c section and they were both delivered safely. No problems whatsoever. Just make sure you keep up ur appointments and avoid all the stuff you are not supposed to do. You will be fine and baby too. 🌹
If baby does have to come early, don't panic. I had toxaemia and almost died so my son was born by elective C section at 31 weeks. A tiny scrap weight 2.5lbs who pulled his oxygen tubes out, ripped his mask off at4 weeks and came home weighing 4.4lbs. He's now 37. His only problem is mild dyspraxia.
