Abstract:
As the adult congenital heart disease population grows, more women are reaching childbearing age. Women with moderate to complex congenital heart disease have an increased risk of morbidity and mortality than the general population. There is increased risk of prematurity and intrauterine growth restriction in infants. Regular preconceptual adult congenital heart disease care, contraception counseling, and multidisciplinary care during a pregnancy can help minimize the risk during pregnancy for both mother and baby.
