Is it possible to have a heart attack, then go on to get pregnant and have a healthy baby?

I have been trying to get pregnant and out of the blue I had a heart attack August,11. Has anyone out there had a heart attack and then went on to have a baby. If so what about the medications and was their any effect on the baby? Also I would like to hear from anyone who was told they couldn't become pregnant.

Yes, but your cardiac issues need to be addressed first. You will have a high risk pregnancy and will need a specialist, but it can be done.

I would go talk to your OB/GYN doctor or your family doctor.

After a heart attack, the heart muscle may be weakened and may not pump as efficiently as it did pre-heart attack.

Pregnancy adds a lot of stress to the heart. If you cannot handle it, your life and the baby's life may be harmed.

Again, talk with your doctor.
