I am no doctor but my understanding is that murmurs during pregnancy can be normal as you have extra blood flow going through the heart so this is not a heart defect as such hence why it went away once no longer pregnant. I wouldn't be worried if this is the only family history.

Again I am no doctor and no expert, if you have reason to be worried about your heart go see your doctor to set your mind at rest.
