Cardiomyopathy is enlargement of one or more ventracles of the heart.

I went through my pregnancy with flying colors; however, after

delivery I was readmitted with illnesses steming from enlargement of

my lower left ventracle. Its a condition that is more likely to

happen to women carrying multiples. THe amount of blood it takes to

support several bodies is great and the rapid change and hormonal

changes... blah, blah, blah.

Anyway, I was kept off of hormonal birth control because it can

aggrivate heart problems. I had remained stable for a few months so

we thought it was worth a try to go back on the patch. No go,

unfortunately, so its back to barriers until we make a surgical

decision.

I'm thinking hubby might get to have a little snip-snip. Not sure I'm

up for any kind of surgery again.
