Hi, I was diagnosed with DCM about 4 months ago with the birth of my first child... I'm completely devastated. I guess it's the fact that everyone is so negative about having any other children. (My obgyn said a few days after I went into congestive heart failure that "she should have tied my tubes when they were doing my c-section - I have a lot of resentment) I wanted to give my precious son siblings... it just really was too much for me to handle. I'm 28 and now fear a life of medication and sickness when about a year ago I was completely healthy.
I hope your sister has some positive feedback, and I really hope that her baby can be brought into this world and I hope your sister is doing better!
Please pass on any upbeat stories that you receive - I would appreciate them.
Take care, michelle
