I was 28 weeks pregnant when i was told that my babies heartbeat was over 300bpm,I was then sent to the JRH hospital in oxford where they monitored me daily. at the first ultrasound I was told my baby was seriously ill and was put on digitoxin. after two days my babies heartbeat was still 300bpm, so i was put on Flecainide as well.

After two days on this the heartbeat was still the same but he had gained a lot of fluid in his body and i was told i needed an emergancy c-section. When his was born he weighed 5lb 6oz because of the fluid. After he was born he was still in svt but gave him medication to get rid of the fluid and went down to 3lb, his estimated birth weight. He is now on 4 different medications and the hospital let me bring him home and is still suffering with svt everyday, and im really really worried about it.
