Hi all,

I was wondering if someone learned could enlighten me...

I get (or have? not sure of the right terminology) supra- ventricular tachycardia (SVT). I've had it since I was 12, it occurs for a reason undetermined as yet (but it is triggered by dehydration). Most attacks are quite painful and last for up to 4 hours- I generally end up in the ER having my heartrate medically slowed down by use of drugs.

I am curious as to what would have happened had an attack of SVT occured during the active stages of labour- any guesses how the medical staff would have intervened and treated it? I had an attack the morning before my labour begin and some times I wonder if I really dodged a bullet there.

Any insight appreciated. Thanks.
