Heart Disease & Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a time of increased risk, especially for women with a history of heart disease. The risks are manageable in most cases. Women with a history of heart disease need careful and more frequent medical observation during pregnancy. Because the risk varies for each woman, it is essential that you discuss your own situation with your doctor before getting pregnant. If you become unexpectedly pregnant, you should notify your doctor without delay so that the remainder of the pregnancy can be carefully planned and managed.
