Chf: It is possible, you need to work with your docs and follow the program closely. This is a high risk situation but with some luck and skill you can succeed.

CHF pregnancy: Pregnancy very risky. If heart failure has been stable there is a chance of success but since it's not safe for baby for mom to take the proper meds the heart can get worse.
