preggin related question

Hi all.

Some of you know my hubby and I are trying for a baby. The doc told us that for me the most possible risk will be delivering preterm. Not in a dangerous zone, like the baby in serious danger, but enough that it would have to be kept. Basically enough that we want to avoid that at all costs! The doc explained this is b/c the baby is taking alot of your oxygen at that point and your lungs just say theyve had enough. So, they said rest, staying at home will be neccesary.

If you've had a pregnancy (w cf) and they told you the same thing, what did you do to avoid it? Of course, anyone please answer-even if you know of someone w/out cf that was told a similar thing. I can rest and stay at home, but how much are we talking here? Will walking up the stairs put me into labor?

Is there anything else to prevent it? Didi any of you have oxygen?

Thanks alot. I'm not afraid of it, I just want to prevent, and also know what I'm getting into.<img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">

Christian,

I dont' know if you have read at all about my pregnancy, but it was a little crazy and I don't think the "norm" but what is the norm? Anyway, a few months into pregnancy I had to use oxygen at night because my sats were dropping into the low 80's. IN the 6th month I needed oxygen full time and was having very labored breathing. I probably needed it sooner, but this was when I was actually tested. You can read my firts blog to read the rest of the story. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer anything.

This one I cant help you on Christian. I dont even know what my O2 sats were during pregnancy tho I am sure if they were too low I would remember!
