    Pregnancy and Lung Functions

    Hey Alisha. I am having similar thoughts, although my daughter is only 4 months old right now, and if we were to try again, it wouldn't be for at least another 6 months. I had a great pregnancy, with my lung function actually increasing in the beginning and leveling out to pre-pregnancy at the...

    Who conceived naturally?

    I actually don't know what my mutations are. I was trying to get that info from my clinic while I was pregnant, but we kept having issues because the adult clinic I go to is closed for the time being, so I just gave up. I did notice that the Vitex seemed to help me as well. It's hard to say...

    Who conceived naturally?

    I conceived our now 3 month old daughter naturally after about 1 year of actively trying to conceive. I used Vitex and mucinex for about 2 months prior to conceiving. I also had an HSG test the cycle prior to me getting pregnant. Other than that, no medical intervention. I don't take enzymes and...

    Had my baby!

    I noticed the previous post mentioned about "baby-wearing", and I just wanted to mention that I got the Moby wrap for a baby shower gift, and I really recommend it. I can keep the baby close to me so that she feels comfortable and still get things done around the house. Even if she is fussy when...

    Had my baby!

    Hello! I actually just recently my baby as well. Annalynn was born on October 9th and also weighed 6lbs 15oz. It was an uncomplicated labor and delivery and she is very healthy with no CF! (We just had the sweat test to confirm last week). I am also having issues with getting enough sleep and...

    what are the chances my baby will have cf?

    I am actually 9 months pregnant right now with our first, so I have done quite a bit of research on this, and from what I understand, Bill is correct. Your baby will be a carrier no matter what because you have CF. If the babies father is a carrier, there is a 50% chance that your baby will...

    Mucinex and CM

    Mary, I took Mucinex when ttc as well. I would take it just as your doc has ordered it, but I would only take it from the time I was 4-5 days into my cycle until I ovulated, because it's so expensive. I ended up getting pregnant (finally!) after about a year and a month of ttc. I was taking the...

    Meds in the Hospital during delivery

    Hey Becca, Congratulations! I am also in my first pregnancy (25 weeks right now), and have these questions as well. I am also a nurse though, so I can give a bit of insight from that perspective. I work in a pretty small hospital, and our pharmacy doesn't carry many of the specialty medications...

    for cf women

    When my husband and I were ttc, I started to pay attention to the CM, and I can say that I noticed a little bit of a change during ovulation, but it was never quite as "eggwhite" as it is characterized. Mostly, I noticed an increase in amount, and it was thinner, and lighter in color. It did...

    Pulmozyme and pregnancy

    I was told that Pulmozyme is a class B, and have been on it my entire pregnancy so far (I am 22 weeks with my first). The only meds that I have discontinued during my pregnancy are Tobi and Colistin. Good luck! Maria RN, 23 w/CF

    CFers and healthcare jobs. im going into diagnostic medical sonography

    Hey Tamara, I am an RN on a med/surg unit of a hospital. I work usually 3 12-hour shifts/week. I have to say that this is really convenient as opposed to working monday through friday, as it is easier to schedule doctor's appointments and not have to miss work. Another thing that is good about...
