SVD of ASD in 11 week Pregnant women

After pregnancy home test, for the first time we went for general check-up. The gynaecologist found Heart murmur and referred to Cardiologist.

We consulted the paediatric Cardiologist :
She suggested to go for 2D Echo:
1) After thorough test of 2D Echo in all possible angles:
2) She had doubt about SVD type of ASD(?)
3) She had doubt about Anamulous RVPV draining to SVC(?)
4) Found enlargement of RA/RV
5) Finally advised TEE to confirm above doubts as couldn't able to check from top angle in 2D.

TEE results:

1) As suspected, found Large 22mm SVC type ASD with L-->R shunt(> 2:1)
2) As suspected, found Anamulous RVPV into SVC --> RA
3) Dilated CS
4) Dilated RA/RV
5) RVSP around 44
6) mild pericardial effusion

Conclusion:

1) No medication prescribed, suggested definite surgical closure(surgery) after delivery. She said will close the defect and also correct the Anamulous of RVPV draining to SVC
2) And said if at all required, will give medicine during 7-9 months time


Will there be any complications during 6-9 months and during final delivery?
Any chance of getting these congenital heart diseases to my baby?
Should I go for pregnancy? or do surgical correction now ?

Sorry for the lengthy description, hope you can understand my worries!!!
