Women who have heart disease and wish to conceive should first consult with her physician before becoming pregnant so the risks of a pregnancy while managing heart disease can be discussed. Anyone with heart disease, heart murmur, or who have had rheumatic fever, or who has high blood pressure, or high blood cholesterol are among those who should seek out a doctor's advice before becoming pregnant. Also, a woman who has congenital heart disease is at increased risk of having a baby with heart disease. Your doctor can plan to take good care of you and your baby during the pregnancy. Prenatal care can start before you conceive including taking prenatal vitamins to improve your baby's chance of being healthy. You can plan on eating healthy before conceiving, and give up any bad habits like smoking, or drinking excessive alcohol before you become pregnant. Your doctor will approve of all medicines based on appropriateness for being used during pregnancy. If you have heart disease you may need to take heart medications during pregnancy. Your doctor may need to change your medication or adjust the dosage to be sure that the medications you are taking won't harm the baby.
Reversing Heart DiseaseThe arterioles regulate the blood flow throughout the body and when they constrict the heart has to work harder in order to pump blood where it is needed in the body. As the arterioles constrict, pressure builds up within the vessels, which can lead to heart disease. Reversing Heart Disease |
There are some heart diseases that can be acquired during pregnancy such as heart murmurs, arrhythmias, high blood pressure, that can lead to pre-eclampsia.
Pregnant women can reduce the risk of pregnancy related heart disease by getting early and regular prenatal care, by revealing any recreational drug usage, by improving lifestyle habits such as smoking and overeating and by controlling any diseases such as diabetes as well as controlling conditions such as high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol. The relationship between mom-to-be and the doctor is an important tool for preventing complications to mom or baby due to heart disease. Always listen to and follow the expert medical advice that only your doctor can give. Proper prenatal care, good nutritious foods, rest and proper pregnancy exercise are all important tools for fighting heart disease during pregnancy.
It is possible to have a healthy pregnancy when a woman has a heart disease or when a heart disease develops during the pregnancy. Good prenatal care by a doctor you trust is very important to a positive outcome for your pregnancy. Appropriate exercise and good nutrition is also important when it comes to a healthy pregnancy outcome especially when heart disease is a factor in the pregnancy. It is possible to become pregnant with heart disease already present or to be pregnant and develop heart disease and have a healthy outcome for mom and baby.
