Expert ReplyCondition analysis:
Dear Ma'm The feasibility and safety of pregnancy in rheumatic heart disease depends upon the type of valvular lesion you have. I would request you to upload your last ECHO report and detail your current symptoms. This will help me in further elaborating on the issue. If ECHO report is not available please detail your valvular lesions. Waiting for your reply.

Diet and weight management and rheumatic diseases
Starch and fiber. A diet high in starch and fiber increases your energy level and makes bowel movements more regular. In addition, many foods high in starch and/or fiber are often low in fat, helping keep weight at a healthy level.
Sodium (salt). A low-salt diet may benefit many older adults with rheumatic disease who have high blood pressure. Sodium can cause water retention which can aggravate high blood pressure. Some convenience foods, such as frozen meals and fast food, are high in sodium. In addition, certain medications cause the body to retain too much sodium.
Alcohol. Alcohol consumption can affect a medication's effectiveness. In addition, alcohol can cause weight gain and weaken bones. Care should be taken when drinking alcohol. Always consult your doctor concerning how alcohol affects your medications and your health.
