[ozmidwifery] anti-rejection drugs and pregnancy

[annie k]

hi list.. just a thought.. you may have heard of the young girl who gave birth after having a heart transplant  only a few years prior.. being such a high risk pregnancy all antenatal care was in our capital city.. i don't know what the long term effects would be on the baby.. she has just turned 1 and looks lovely and healthy..  sadly the young mother died earlier this year after a cardiac arrest.. she did tell me while pregnant that the doctors thought her pregnancy would be too much strain on her heart and that she could die .. this brave girl was determined to have her baby despite knowing this and did enjoy some months as a mother before dying.. perhaps some fellow listers know more about this girl and what effects her drugs might have on the baby.. annie Get more from the Web.
