Heart problems/Want to one day have a family?
Okay, I was born with ASD pulmonary stenosis and a heart murmur. The whole in my heart was closing and closing and the stopped. So, when I was 14 I had open heart surgery and things have been going great! I've been engaging in sports and even getting on roller coasters. Once I started having sex I decided to get on birth control. I still had a slight murmur, but my doc said it would be okay. I had to stop taking it because it was becoming very hard to breath and I was having small palpitations every now and then. SO.....I was wondering will I be able to have an okay pregnancy. This really worries me. I'd hate to put a baby at risk or die during birth and leave a child without a mother. I know the best thing to do is talk to a doctor, but I wanted to know if anyone with irregular heart history has been pregnant and how it went....

- This is really something to talk to your doctor about. There are so many different cardiac problems, that only your doctor, who is familiar with your specific case and history, can tell you what risks there are, if any, to getting pregnant.
