    To speak of CF or not...

    This is a great thread! I don't have a problem discussing CF with others mainly because I grew up with a crohnic disease also. I have Crohn's and was diagnosed when I was 10. I refused to let anyone talk about it, and was furious with mom for telling my teachers. I hated the looks of pity...

    To speak of CF or not...

    I took my son to the regular pediatrician, she wasn't in but the nurse practitioner was, for an ear-infection several years ago. We talked about CF and whether I wanted to have more kids in the future. She then told me that a good friend of hers had five little girls and they all died of CF. I...

    Problems already!

    Constipation has been my worst symptom in this pregnancy. It started very early on and still bothers me. I have Crohn's disease and have had several abdominal surgeries, I have a lot of scar tissue that makes normal digestion impossible. Taking a laxative or stool softener makes me miserable...

    Should children witness childbirth?

    Holy Crap!!! I don't know why I thought this was going to be a serious post, I thought it would be a heated debate on what kids should or should not "witness"!! I am pregnant and I laughed so hard I thought my baby would crawl out. THANKS, I am blaming you if I go into premature labor!!!!

    Baby girl and boy names?

    I want to name my baby Lily, if it's a girl. We haven't thought of a boy name yet because I am so certain it's a girl. I'll know in a few weeks.

    steve irwin, crocodile hunter, has died

    Exactly, He was doing what needed to be done to help the animals. He did what most were too scared to do and he was willing to face the danger to save the animals. Is it cruel for a parent to vaccinate their child, or to strap them in a carseat? No, you do it to protect your child even if...

    steve irwin, crocodile hunter, has died

    He didn't "mess with mother nature". He gave his life while informing people worldwide of the beauty, fragility, and sometimes deadly nature of wildlife. He has done more for mother nature and the animals on this earth than any single person has ever done. It's horrible that his family is...

    Stats on People with CF and Carriers having Children with CF?

    I care. I found out I was pregnant with my 2nd child about two months ago. This was not planned and is definitly a surprise. These fears and thoughts plague me every minute of the day. I am scared that this baby will also have CF, I don't know how to feel. The selfish part of me is happy...

    Central Lines.. OUCH.....

    I have had two,one on each side. My veins were completly shot and it was the only way to get fluids and drugs into me. They did it my hospital room with no sedation and it was H**L. It was quite painful for a day or two, I honestly thought my boob was going to fall off. They were placed...

    how to handle a delicate situation

    I'm sure he'll be fine. Give them as much info as you can and write everything down. Your other two kids know the routine and will be able to help a lot. Their schedules will get messed up, they may overdue it and they are all going to be cranky when you get back. This is normal for all...

    Is this tacky???

    Somebody gave a batch of the papertowel baby wipes when my son was born. I loved them, they worked so much better than store bought ones. My son never got a diaper rash while using them. As far as baby food goes, make it yourself. It's easy to puree food and it is a lot cheaper than baby...

    They expect it now and look forward to reading my "messages", they even invite some of the other staff in to see it also. I'm glad I was asleep or I would have died of embarrassment!! They always send home color photos of the inside of my intestines and where I have ulcerations (I am too...
