Born Exomphalos, Effects On Safe Pregnancy
i was born exomphlalos without any heart conditions and was wondering would this effect my chance of falling pregnant and having a safe pregnancy/child?

It is not safe for a patient of exomphalos to conceive as the organs are already out of the abdominal cavity.
Pregnancy will be full of complications as it will exert undue pressure on the abdominal hormones.
You may conceive normally but it will not be a safe pregnancy.
