Likely yes: If you have normal cardiac function now, then you should have no restrictions having a baby vaginally. Discuss it with your doctor or cardiologist to be sure; they may recommend a C-section if there is some(but not serious) underlying cardiac disease Congratulations!!

Hard to say: If you or a specific friend are wondering about childbirth, you/they should first discuss it at length with their docs.The advisability of pregnancy varies with cardiac status & one answer cannot be right for all women.You might want to meet with a geneticist, because there is ~4% risk of CHD in your baby, 10% if dad also has any heart defect.Many with this defect go on to have families,good luck
