I was about to suggest MckMama's blog too as Amy did. Drawing some conclusions from MackMama's journey though, one should have in mind that SVT is likely to occur again some time after the birth - so maybe it is a good idea to observe the baby closely as it is likely for him/her to have difficulties as babies with cardiac problems often have.

Baby also diagnosed with Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) - his heart rate was between 200 - 240 and sometimes went above 240. She was put on bed rest immediately and admitted to the hospital for 7 days when they also discovered her Braxton Hicks weren't and she was put on the following meds: Digoxin, Felcainide - to treat the fetal SVT. Nifedipine to prevent further contractions (there was a reason they did not put her on mag or tributaline). She also developed PUPPS while in the hospital and was put on Hydroyzine HCI. Baby was born at 36 wks 6 days (9/16/10). Can anyone give me some good information, articles, links - whatever - on SVT? Baby was seen by Cardiologist on 10/14 and got a clean bill of health. He is however having BF challenges. Any information will be much appreciated! Thank you!
