Helo
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
I think you mean Heparin injections.
RHD if corrected surgically and if she is stable, there is no reason why she cannot have a successful pregnancy.
Please could you elaborate what was the fatal infection that the twins had ?
If your wife is clinically stable, then again there is no link between the RHD and the fetal death.
Is it that the twins were born premature, and hence had infection ?
It is difficult to comment without proper details.
She should take her cardiac medications on schedule, and have a clearance from the Cardiologist, before planning the next pregnancy.
Please write back with the complete details on -

In my experience, most women even with complicated cardiac illnesses go on to deliver normally.
Take care.
