Best Answer

That depends on the type of "heart problem".

High blood pressure can be managed but the pregnancy would cause the doctors to use some medication in place of others. If you think you might become pregnanct anytime in the future you should mention this to your doctor so that he or she can select medications that will not have to be changed.

As for other problems; some are not a problem, some can be managed and some make pregnancy strongly advised against.
