High Cholesterol
Hi,
I am 28 years of age and was recently diagnosed with high cholesterol. I am on no cholesterol medication at this stage. My husband and I are thinking of starting a family. What is the possible health risks should I become pregnant for myself and the baby?
Kind regards

The pregnancy will not worsen your cholesterol and the baby will not be affected by high cholesterol.
