Brief Answer: Please provide more details Detailed Answer: Dear Ma'm The feasibility and safety of pregnancy in rheumatic heart disease depends upon the type of valvular lesion you have. I would request you to upload your last ECHO report and detail your current symptoms. This will help me in further elaborating on the issue. If ECHO report is not available please detail your valvular lesions. Waiting for your reply. Sincerely Sukhvinder
