Hi Ladybug,

I was on beta blockers while I was pregnant. I was on, I believe, Lopressor during my pregnancy. I think this is the only one approved safe for pregnancies. If it's ok to ask, what is wrong with your heart? I had Graves' Disease and it was necessary for me to take them during my pregnancy. Immediately following my pregnancy, I had my thryoid removed.

Hi Z,
Wow finally someone out there that actually took a beta blocker while pregnant.Atleast I know there is some hope for me.Yes it's ok you can ask. I have cardiomyopathy. It is alot better while I am on medication thank God. But as soon as I try to wean myself down I get rapid heart rate (sinus tachycardia).I guess I will have accept that I will be on medication for the rest of my life.I just wanna know that I can have a baby in the near future with no problems. You had to take a beta blocker for your thyroid? Did you have rapid heart beat? I think part of my problem is thyroid related but my tests keep coming back normal. I have an appointment w/ an endo on the 28th. I will see what they say.
Take care :wave:
Thank you for giving me hope :)
