If a person with Congestive Heart Failure gets...

...pregnant, will she be able to carry it to full term/birth? There was compication the last time she had a baby and she was told she couldn't have any more kids cause she might not live through it the next time. Now that she is pregnant again, she heard that she could still keep the baby but she will have to be closely monitor and that she might not be able to carry the babe to full term . The baby might have to be taken out three months early.

She should be FINE, just monitored closely. Sometimes Dr.'s aren't exactly truthful and tell people to scare them out of getting pregnant again- because no one likes high risk patients. High risk patients= potential lawsuits

Well yeah I mean she should have been careful and listened to the doctors by not getting pregnant. So yeah she can have the baby prematurely, the baby could die or she could die. Those are basicly the 3 common choices for her situation. Sorry!!!

My sister in law had the same thing, she got pregnant again, because she refused to have her tubes tied. The doctors told her she would have to abort the baby or die because her heart would not handle the extra strain. She refused to abort the baby. My sister in law died the day after Thanksgiving along with her unborn baby. Whoever this lady is ...she is definately crazy for not having her tubes tied in the first place,and crazy for getting pregnant again in the second....alsoa bit suicidal if you ask me.
