bad heart

okay so I have a bicuspid aeortic valve, (you arw supposed to have 3 valves but I only have 2) its a very common defect, most people don't know they have it,   but one of my valves is leaking.  I'll need surgery when I'm older and have hard time breathing.  Does this make me a high risk pregnancy?  I know I should go to my doctor I just wanted to hear your opinions.
