Mitral Valve Prolapse & Intra Aortic Aneurysm

Anyone been through a pregnancy with this? DH and I are going to start TTC in November so I went for a follow up ecocardio gram (I knew about the aneurysm, which I'm on baby asprin for) and the tech told me that I have Mitral Valve Prolapse, my appointment with the Cardiologist is not until 3/10. I was just wondering if anyone else has this?

I have MVP
When my heart pumps, a little extra blood is pushed into my heart instead of being pushed out. When I went for my physical, they heard a heart murmur and sent me for test

I am currently 18 weeks pregnant
I went to the cardiologist and he said mine is very minor and not to worry about a thing. He told me I should have a normal, healthy pregnancy.

I've had MVP since I was 13. Its very common in women and in most cases is not anything to worry about. It shouldnt have any effect on your pregnancy.

i have MVP, i used to take med to regulate HB and to slow down the flutters, but went off when i started ttc.
I was tottaly fine, in some cases the MVP subsides during pregnancy.
