Is pregnancy safe after repair of torn aorta?
I was in an ATV accident in 2005, I suffered a torn aorta, that was repaired. My question is..is pregnancy safe for me. My accident was 6 years ago. I have seen several cardialogists and they seem to be divided about it. Some said that it was safe, but that I would have to be monitored closely. The others said flat out that it would kill me. So I don't know what to do. I want a baby more than anything. We have discussed adoption and foster care with several agencies, but since I was recently diagonsed with Bipolar 1 we are unable to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I don't know how anyone can be decisive regarding fatality and it would be difficult to give an opinion just based on the information provided. I am providing a link to a forum that may have members who have experienced identical situations. Thanks for our question, and I wish you well going forward. Take care.
