What are the risks of getting pregnant with Moderate Congestive heart Failure?

I am 31 and had a heart condtion that has turned into congestive heart failure. I have no children, and have been put on Coreg (heart medication) and Avapro (to dialate my blood vessels and lower my blood pressure) if we can get my heart stronger my husband wants me to try to have our own child, but i think its to risky. I have an ejection fraction right now of 35% and BNP of 465 currently. Any advise? I think its to much of a risk for my heart...i would love to hear from anyone.

    Please, please, please talk this over with your cardiologist. The risk depends on the cause of your cardiomyopathy and noone on Yahoo has enough information on your condition to advise you properly. In fact, depending on the type of cardiomyopathy you have, pregnancy could kill you. And you should absolutely not become pregnant on avapro. Talk to your doctor. And good luck.
