In this cohort study, adverse maternal outcomes were rarely observed. CVD in pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of preterm birth and SGA babies. We identified certain maternal conditions and sociodemographic factors associated with these outcomes. Despite having CVD, our study cohort had no mortality from the pregnancy.
