What is pregnancy like when you have a congenital heart condition?
Tegan had a Fontan procedure as a child. She's now 34 years old and a mother of three. Her experience of pregnancy has been different each time, and not always smooth, but each time it's been made possible through the support and careful guidance of her cardiology and health care team.
