Hi ladybug, I'm a guy so I can't have a baby (*heehee*), but just out of curiosity, which type of cardiomyopathy do you have? Restrictive? Hypertrophic Obstructive? Dilated?

I aquired cardiomyopathy 4 months after I had a baby... but they think mine is viral, rather than postpartum.

I don't know which kind I have. My doctors think it's viral and that's pretty much all they have told me. Do you have cardiomyopathy?

Hi LisaannUT,
How did they find out you had cardiomyopathy? Did your doctors advise you that it would be alright to become pregnant again w/ this condition or it would not be a good idea? I am just trying to get some feedback from women in the same stiuation as me. I am only 30 I would like to have a baby in the near future.
Thanks
