Baseline data were collected before pregnancy or at the first antenatal visit. These included clinical presentation, ECG, chest X ray, echodoppler study and subsequently maternal cardiac event, obstetric outcome, neonatal event and risk stratification of bad obstetric outcome. Result: During the study period 74 women having congenital heart disease (CHD) were seen. The prevalence of congenital heart disease was 0.14%. Most of the patients had atrial septal defect (ASD) (35%). Normal delivery was in 18 numbers of patients and most of these were ASD and pulmonary stenosis. Large number of patients had developed complication of sustained arrhythmia (41%). Pulmonary oedema was documented in 8 patients. Seven patients expired during labour and puerperium.
