MedHelp Member's Question

Heart Surgey/Family planning

by JK0121, Feb 10, 2008 09:31AM

Tags: Heart surgery, heart valve surgery

I have had two open-heart surgeries. I had an ASD repair at age 8. I was able to have 2 healthy children with no complications during the pregnancies. My second surgery was at age 26, which involved a mitral and tricuspid repair as well as another ASD repair. I am 29 now and am considering another child. What are my options?
