Suggest Consequences With Tricuspid Regurgitation During Pregnancy
Hi, i m 27 yrs old and am now 34 weeks pregnant and my baby is in a breech position. Yesterday i found out that i have a mild tricuspid regurg PPG 20mmHg. Am i safe for delivery? Will any of these affect my baby s health? Is it true that extra bllod flow during pregnancy might cause this tricuspid regurg & it ll get back to normal once i delivered?

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Mild tricuspid regurgitation is not worrisome, and you can go for vaginal delivery at a tertiary care centre where cardiologist is available.
Tricuspid regurgitation has no effect on the fetus.
Yes, extra blood flow in pregnancy can sometimes cause regurgitation, however you need to get a postnatal echo to confirm
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health
