    I am a right-sided CDH survivor. My husband and I are attempting to start a family. This past December we had a miscarriage. We have had many doctors tell us we will be a high risk pregnancy with my health. I would love some advice or experiences if anyone would be willing to share as we are scared!

    My doctors told me they think I will be in a lot of pain and discomfort the last 6 weeks of my pregnancy if I can get pregnant with all the scar tissue stretching ...
