Yes: But depending on the severity of your condition, it might not be advisable since you would be putting your life at risk. You might have to stop certain medications you are taking sine they are not safe in pregnancy. Consult with your doctor.

Yes but: This can be done successfully. But there can be significantly increased risks. I highly, highly recommend you specifically see a cardiologist trained in adult congenital heart disease and pulmonary hypertension. They are trained to help with these issues as there are significant changes that occur during pregnancy.
