How to ensure safe new pregnancy when earlier child suffered from congenital cardiac anomalies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No guarantees : Any pregnancy has ~ 4% risk of an unexpected outcome. The recurrence risk for a second congenital heart disease after one is 4% unless a parent has any form of defect where the risks increase. Total risks are the two added together & includes risk of prematurity, cleft lips, etc.
