My dad's got atrial fibrillation, or abnormal heart rhythms, so I wanted to stop myself from getting them when I was older. According to US scientists, people who eat oily fish every week can reduce their risk of AF by nearly a third. I cheat by taking Omega 3 Capsules Pure Fish Oils (1000mg One a Day), £4.45 for 90, www.healthspan.co.uk.

Don't forget that there are 'innocent' murmurs too. The doctor asked us back a few weeks after I gave birth after hearing some abnormal heart sounds. He conducted some tests on baby Cherie. The result? A perfectly normal baby girl!
