Anyone else with TGV (congenital heart disease) had a baby???

I was born with a complicated heart condition (transposition of the great vessels) and I have a mechanical mitral valve and a pacemaker. Has anyone known anyone with this condition that has had a baby???

First: you really need to consult a cardiologist for an answer. The combination of issues, your medications, your general health, your family history -- all will influence the answer.

I did not find any reports in the medical literature of a case with all three of the conditions you listed: transposition of the great vessels, mechanical mitral valve and a pacemaker. Taken individually, pregnancy can be managed sucessfully. The combination may be quite different!

Transposition of the great vessels
The medical literature shows that while quite risky, some women with transposition of the great arteries have had successful pregnancies.

Mechanical mitral valve
The literature attests to a number of births to women with mechanical valves. Note that essential medications may be teratogenic (cause birth defects.)

Pacemaker
No major problems are reported with the pacemaker & pregnancy.
