Answer 1

I thought you only had 2 ventricles anyway!

2 ventricles (the larger bottom heart chambers and 2 atria (the smaller upper one's)

Maybe they meant something else like a hole in the wall between the 2 ventricles.

Did they not give you any more specific information?

I'm very sorry to hear about your bad news, I just hope that you have a way of getting all your facts about the condition as they obviously neglected to tell you all of this.

Maybe give your GP a visit and get them to look into it for you, and in turn advise you.

I'll say a prayer for you x*x

Answer 2

So sorry to read that.  Afraid I can't help, but hope and pray all will go well for you.  I can only suggest that you discuss your concerns with your doctor.    

Answer 3

its very upsetting to hear there may be a problem with your baby, try not to worry to much till you have had your dr explain in more detail the problem with the heart.there are only 2 ventricles the right and left. and there is such a lot they can do these days.it may not be has bad as first thought! hope every thing goes well for you and your little one.

Answer 4

Is that like a hole in the heart that many children are born with?
