Should I Be Concerned For Eliminating Pregnancy Having Heart Defect By Birth?
My girlfriend is having a pregnancy terminated within the next 10 days; she is 23, and has been monitored since birth for a heart defect, a heart murmur, which she still has. Does that eliminate the possibility of terminating the pregnancy altogether?
