Complications in the for of pulmonary congestion was more common in severe MS or severe MR complicated by pulmonary hypertension. Most of my patients had normal vaginal delivery. Vaginal operative delivery was done for prophylactic reason. Average weight of babies was 2.44kg cardiac patients are prone to deliver small babies. Contraception in the form of barrier is a preferred temporary method for cardiac patients. Tubal ligation is the preferred permanent method of contraception.
