You will be referred to a hospital maternity unit for team-based care. The team will include a cardiologist, obstetrician and midwife.
You may be able to attend a special cardiac pregnancy clinic if there's one in your area. Ask your GP for details.
A congenital heart disease cardiologist will assess you and plan your care with you. It's hard to predict the effect of congenital heart disease on your pregnancy because each case is different.
The only way to estimate your risk and to determine what complications, if any, you might have during pregnancy is to have a careful assessment by a specialist.
It's important to know what problems could arise. Depending on what type of congenital heart disease you have, you may develop fluid on the lungs, heart failure or arrythmia (an irregular and/or fast heartbeat).
