If you read my post Miracle #1, then you know why CHD Awareness is so important to me.

What is a Congenital Heart Defect?

  • Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are problems with the heart’s structure that are present at birth.
  • Common examples include holes in the inside walls of the heart and narrowed or leaky valves. In more severe forms of CHDs, blood vessels or heart chambers may be missing, poorly formed, and/or in the wrong place.

CHD Awareness - Parent


During CHD Awareness week, I'll be posting facts about CHD, how you can get involved, and some info about the many organizations out there already helping!

    I used to have a friend that said she had a Congenital heart defect, at the time, I had no idea what it was. You explain it very well.

    One of my friend’s son has a congenital heart defect, and she’s been posting lots of great information to raise awareness. It’s definitely something everyone should know more about!

    It is great that you are raising awareness of this problem. I have not been personally affected, but I still think it is important to raise awareness for all sorts of problems and concerns. Thank you!

    A good friend had a baby last August with CHD. She had surgery at months old and is doing great.

    My husband, and his sister, had an ASD. We had to have so many ultrasounds when I was pregnant with my son, because they worried that he might have one. Early screening is so important.

    This is great! I recently wrote a part series on Sudden Cardiac Arrest, the more awareness for the heart, the better. People don’t talk about it enough!

    We had to learn all about these nursing school! There are so many different types of heart defects and they all have different risks, symptoms and treatments
