Answer
Hello. Your wife had a ventricular septal defect at the age of 14, does your wife have a follow-up visit after surgery? What is the doctor's assessment? Besides ventricular septal defect, do you have any other diseases? Because the doctor understands and agrees with the young couple's desire to have children, but first, the doctor would like to give you some advice as follows:
Take your wife to a cardiologist to evaluate the structure of the heart. Current heart structure and function, check - detect associated cardiovascular diseases (if any) More specialist obstetrician consultation (prenatal counseling): This is a must do and prenatal counseling will helps to assess the child's risk of disease later in life (e.g. genetic diseases,...) and important in prenatal counseling, you and your wife will have a perfect plan for having a baby . Hopefully with the above advice of the doctor will partly help you answer the question of each ventricular septal defect, does pregnancy affect the health of mother and baby? You can take your wife to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for more advice from doctors.
