Pulmonary hypertension and pregnancy?


I have just been diagnosed with mild to moderate pulmonary hypertension (i'm only 21). The doctors say that pregnancy can be very dangerous for me..

Since I'm so young, I really hope that in a few years..maybe by my late 20's I can have a child. Is it possible to have the condition stabilize and be well controlled through medications.. and have a baby? Or am I just being naive and too optimistic

I would suggest you consult a doctor who specializes in high-risk pregnancies before you got pregnant. Lots of times a general physician doesn't know as much as a specialist. You would most likely be at high risk but only a specialist can tell how severe your condition is and whether you can safely sustain a pregnancy.

it will break your legs!!!!!! dont risk it
