Can I get pregnant if I have a bad heart?

Women with heart problems can get pregnant, but they need to check whether their physical condition meets the conditions for pregnancy. This can reduce the symptoms of congenital diseases and miscarriage. If the heart disease is relatively mild and not contagious, we can choose to conceive, but if the heart disease is serious, pregnancy will increase the pressure on the heart, so everyone can learn about the following content.

Can a heart patient get pregnant?

First of all, whether you can get pregnant if you have heart disease depends on the severity of the heart disease. If the heart disease is mild and you are suitable for exercise, then there is no problem with getting pregnant. If the heart disease is severe and you will experience dizziness and headaches after some light exercise, then you cannot get pregnant as it may easily put your life in danger.

If the patient can do housework and does not need to lie down to rest, and can do things like climbing stairs, washing clothes, etc., and is not physically restricted, then such person can consider pregnancy, because pregnancy is a very hard thing.

We can also observe from the resting state of women with heart disease that if they feel normal when resting and do not feel any discomfort, they will not experience shortness of breath and palpitations in their daily life. On the contrary. Pregnancy cannot be considered.

If in your daily life, just some simple movements or some basic self-care make you feel very tired, it is not recommended to get pregnant. Everyone knows that pregnancy requires a certain amount of physical strength.

Patients with heart disease must consider the issue of pregnancy carefully. Whether they can get pregnant depends on their own physical condition. If the condition is well recovered, then after pregnancy, they can go to some hospitals with better heart disease treatment for delivery. In addition, cesarean section can be performed, but this can only be done for patients with mild to moderate heart disease.

If you can get pregnant, patients must treat it with caution and make decisions based on their actual situation. Don't make decisions based on your mood, otherwise the consequences will be out of control. In addition, patients with heart disease who need to take medicine every day should not get pregnant easily. The medicine can cause great harm to the newborns in the body. Patients and friends, please be cautious.

The worse the heart function before pregnancy, the greater the chance of problems after pregnancy. Because the blood volume of a pregnant woman is much higher than that of a non-pregnant woman, coupled with the changes during delivery, the heart is under considerable burden. If a woman has had heart failure, an enlarged heart, arrhythmia, or endocarditis before pregnancy, or is too old, even if her heart function was good before pregnancy, at level I to II, the compensatory heart function decompensation during pregnancy will often be more severe than during the non-pregnancy period, making it difficult for doctors to treat and sometimes posing a threat to the life of the fetus.

Generally, women with mild heart disease and heart function at level I and II are able to become pregnant. Pay attention to checkups during pregnancy and seek timely treatment if the condition worsens. A satisfactory outcome is usually achieved.

Therefore, if a woman with heart disease plans to become pregnant, no matter what her current heart function is, even if it is a mild condition, she should see a cardiologist before pregnancy for a comprehensive examination and assessment of her heart condition. She can only become pregnant with the permission of the cardiologist, and her condition should be closely monitored during pregnancy.
