Depends: On what type of heart disease you have. You need to meet with your physician or obstetrician to discuss risks. Take care!

See OB doctor: You will need to see an obstetrician regarding the problem. It's possible that you may be able to keep the fetus and have an uncomplicated pregnancy, but you need to get frequent check-ups for sure.
