I have no information but wanted to send you my thoughts and prayers. After you meet with the dr and get more information, I would search for a support group. Maybe your dr would be able to refer you.
Best wishes to you and your little one.

my boyfriend was born with aortic stenosis and had heart surgery right out of birth. His chance of surving was like really really slim and here he is today 3 surgerys later with a little on of his own on the way. I’m sure your terribly worried but the less stressed you stay the healthier it is for the baby, just have faith and i wish you the best!

I was a nanny to a baby who had this diagnosed at twenty weeks. He had a small chance of living, but the mother went through the pregnancy and stayed positive and the baby had an operation right after birth. He is now nine months and healthy. He had really small chances of living, like they told her 15-20% but he ended up okay. Doctors never really know, and it depends on your baby and your health. As long as there is some chance and the baby is alive in your womb, technically you have a chance and although it won’t be easy, you could have a good outcome.

This is so sad, but try to stay hopeful!
In the meantime there is a support group for this… http://www.hypoplasticrighthearts.org/
Perhaps there you can find answers. Best of luck to you!
