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.

Subject: Supraventricular Tachycardia

Apologies for the cross post:


I will be seeing a mom in a couple days whose baby was diagnosed, in utero,
with too much fluid in the abdomen and around his heart at 29 wks gestation.
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!
