I unfortunately developed peripartum cardiomyopathy and am on my way to recovery . The treatment of ppcm has come a long way and there are many women who are getting full recovery .The key is early identification. I was so happy to read that your OB thought of that right off . Simple blood test like a BNP and hsCRP can help monitor your heart function and are excellent indicators of any potential problems . They are worth having even if yoou think "that couldnt happen to me " .information on ppcm can be found at www.amothersheart.com<BR/>Praying for you and the little ones and that 36 week markAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807272962127653205.post-58101854210963862542007-07-22T16:50:00.000-06:002007-07-22T16:50:00.000-06:00So glad it turned out not to be what they thought!...So glad it turned out not to be what they thought!

It is not bleak, as it once was. I know that it has been ruled out for now, but just in case there is a support site: http://www.amothersheart.org/members/index.php<BR/>We even have one of the authors of the PPCM article in the 2006 lancet to answer our questions: http://www.hefssa.org/content/downloads/2006_ppcm-lancet.pdf<BR/><BR/>BNP and hsCRP are good markers for anticipating PPCM.<BR/><BR/>Twin pregnancies are tough!
