CF and Pregnancy

This article presents data on a study of women that are pregnant with CF as compared to no preg. with CF.

It is a first of it's kind because usually the pregnant CF women are compared with non CFers which doesn't show a fair comparison. Since after all we'd have CF even if we weren't pregnant.

I found the info. about how all women lost weight in the year to 2 years after delivery as compared to their pre-conception weight as very interesting. <b>We definitely need to make a conscious effort to keep our weight up. </b> Not just during the pregnancy but afterwards.

There is also some information on a b.cepacia mommy in here. I found it interesting to compare the data of each patient to eachother and see how the pregnancy effected them.

Yeah that info was interesting. I'm saving that to go over later and show some family members too.
Thanks for the research!

I have cf and had a successful pregnancy over 5 years ago. I am actuallly holding onto last bit of pregnancy weight gain. I gain over 50 lbs during pregnancy and still have 10-15 lbs on my body since giving birth. This is weird for me because I dearly struggled with gaining weight/maintaing my weight before I was pregnant.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif" border="0">

Hi. I know I'm late to see this but thanks

I am pancreatic sufficient and have a healthy BMI but did have trouble gaining weight during the pregnancy - only gained 16 lbs - and a few days after delivery I was down 10 lbs from my starting weight. I'm still at that weight now. I'm fine w/ it though. I was/am breastfeeding so I also think it has a lot to do with it.

Johnna-Did you ever have trouble keeping weight on before you were pregnant?

I guess our bodies can change, esp with pregnancy-but I just can't imagine trying to keep weight on! I have never had trouble getting weight-I've had more trouble trying get rid of a few pounds.
