Hi, I was born with CDH (left side) and had surgery within the first few days of being born. When I was around 3 years old I had a bowel obstruction resulting in me needing another surgery. I have had no issues since and I am now 24 years old. I have been with my boyfriend for 8 years now and we are hoping to start a family within the next few years.
I was hoping any other adult CDH survivors who have gone through pregnancy could give any indications of what to be concerned about or what I should be asking my doctor? Could anyone give any information of their experiences with pregnancy as a CDH survivor? I am concerned about scar tissue, adhesions, diaphragm, lung capacity or possibility of passing on CDH.
