Heart problems.(prevent me from having a baby?)

Hi, this is my first time asking a question about this heart problem i have. The Dr.s say i have Complex cyanotic congenital heart disease (e.g.,single ventricle states, transposition of the great arteries, tetralogy of fallot). The i have told its called a blue baby. Well my question is how many or what percent of women have been pregnant with this problem?  I am 41 and never been pregnant and refuse to except i can't have any!  They say that their is only about 10 people in the world with my rare problem. There has no proof been shown to me about how rare i am! I would like to know more I really want to have a baby!   Please help!!!

Based on what you have said I suspect your risk of pregnancy is very high.  You should be seen a cardiologist with expertise in adult congenital heart disease who is in a large center with alot of experience in complex congenital heart disease.

Thank you, And i did that.I fact in located the Dr. that did the surgery in hope he can give a clear view of what too expect. See he did 2 more of that type surgery of that nature. I had asked because the Dr.s in Dallas say its fine but the ones in South Texas where i live say no!!! I just wanted to know if anyone in out or if u know of anyone whom has the same problems like me has had children.
