How safe is it for a woman born with hypoplastic right heart syndrome to get pregnant and carry a baby to term? What considerations need to be made when Heart Warriors with complex CHDs decide to get pregnant? What advice does a Heart Warrior Mom have for others considering having a baby?

Katelynn Scoggins was born with a critical congenital heart defect known as hypoplastic right heart syndrome. Unlike many people born with HRHS, she has not had the Fontan Procedure. She has done very well medically. 

Katie was homeschooled and she and I have known each other forever! She is a Texan, and she was an intern with Hearts Unite the Globe for a while and I even got her to attend Toastmasters meetings with me in Gatesville. We also worked together with the Texas Chapter of the Children's Heart Foundation. 

Katie and Christopher Scoggins were married in May 2018. They welcomed their son, Isaiah, into the world in December 2019. She’s coming on the show today to tell us about her journey to parenthood. 

All your family’s pressing concerns and questions, answered in one place. Mike...
