moderate aortic insufficiency & pregnancy

I am 32yo and have moderate Aortic insufficiency & mild mitral regurgitation both without any visible s/s.  I got pregnant at the age of 29 and the only symptom I experienced during pregnancy was SOB with moderate exertion ie walking up several flights of stairs.  My Echo did not change from moderate AI from before, during or after my pregnancy.  It has remained the same throughout.  I have consulted a cardiologist but I want another opinion on the safety of another pregnancy at this time.
