i was born with a heart condition called Tetralogy of the Fallot and i also have developed a problem with that called Pulmonary Stenosis. Me and my husband really want to have a baby in the near future but i am unsure if it will be safe or not, i have heard mixed answers. And I might have to go have another open heart (third) in the next year so now im really not sure. I am going to talk to my cardiologist about it on friday but I wanted peoples thoughts or advice who have been through high risk etc pregnancies, what do I ask the Dr. specifically and do I need to see a specialist besides my cardiologist? If it is a slight risk is it worth it. People have mentioned adoption but for since I can remember I have wanted nothing more than to carry my own baby and experiance everything that goes with it, and I want to give my husband a child. I really want to think about a baby soon I just want some advice. Thanks!

I wish you the best of luck.
The questions you are asking here are all the questions you should be asking your Doctor. I am in a high risk preg right now but for different reasons.
You should basically be asking if your heart can handle it. What risk are you taking.. and of course always get a second and third opinion. if there is a risk, you have to deside for yourself if it is work risking it to bring new life into the world... that is for you and your husband. we cant make that choice for you.
I wish you the best of luck
