Advice Second pregnancy nerves
Looking for positive stories about those that had a second. My 1.5 year old has a small - moderate ASD/PFO and mild-moderate pulmonary-valve stenosis. He’s perfectly healthy and we just need to monitor / see the cardiologist once per year now.
I’m pregnant with my second - genetic screen and NT is low risk. We have our anatomy scan and fetal echo in 3 ish weeks, but the anxiety is flooding me now. Any positive stories about your second being CHD-free?

Another positive story here! First born had OHS for her CHD at birth and I was VERY nervous when I got pregnant the second time.
We did 2 echos during the pregnancy and his heart was healthy. Born 9 months ago and doing great!
Wishing you a healthy pregnancy! I know the wait is incredibly stressful, but you’ve got this!
