Bowman could die giving birth

Radio DJ Edith Bowman has a bicuspid aortic valve, which is a serious heart defect.

Because of it, she have to have Caesarean  delivery otherwise she could die.

The defect puts extra pressure on the heart and that’s why they don’t want to take any risk.

Edith told the Daily Record, “I need extra scans and I’ll have to have a Caesarean because no one, including my heart specialist, sees the point in putting my heart through unnecessary stress.”

She adds, “Childbirth carries the risk of causing deterioration in a bicuspid valve, so it’s not a good idea. But I’m not one of these women who is desperate for a natural birth, so I’m fine with it. “

Bowman is 4 months pregnant with her first child with lover Tom Smith.
