May support routine pre-pregnancy counseling in CHD women; leaves open optimal protocols pending higher-level evidence.
Both pregnancy & Congenital Heart Disease affect each other, due to hemodynamics changes, which may affect both mother & fetus. In this article we are going to talk about pre-pregnancy assessment, complications, drugs & mode of delivery in pregnancy with Congenital Heart Disease. Mother’s complications: Heart failure, arrhythmias, bleeding or thrombosis, and rarely maternal death [1]. Fetus complications: Birth defects, prematurity, low birth weight, abortion, and stillbirth [1]. Conclusion: All CHD female patients must receive pre-pregnancy counseling, thus preventing all pregnancy-related avoidable risks and complications for both mother and fetus.
