This article presents the role of nurses in preconception care and counselling in adult congenital heart disease, including the knowledge of congenital heart disease types, major problems in the pregnancy of patients with cardiovascular disease. Pre-pregnancy counseling consists of a pre-pregnancy risk assessment and recommendations for contraception. To reduce maternal and infant mortality and unwanted pregnancy leading to termination of pregnancy through therapeutic abortion.
