slightly off topic but didn't want to start a new thread - my wife went for 36 week scan today and it highlighted a bowel abnormaility - echogenic bowel ????? has anyone come across that during pregnancy and was it an indicator of CF ?

My FEV1 was 80% when I got pregnant. We did it naturally, but it took 13 years. Also, I thought my FEV1 was fairly high and then while pregnant it got down to 46%, so not everyone with higher FEV1s do better when pregnant. Thank the Lord my FEV1 popped back up after my son was born though. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

We have been trying for over 2 yrs and my FEV1 is around 85%. BUT I have been in the 'underweight' or 'malnourished' weight range since I was about 14, so that probably has something to do with it(in terms of ovulation).

Ditto! My husband and i did the Robitussin (3x a day) and i took OTC pre-natal vitamins. My fev1 was in the 70's when i got pregnant. My daughter is now 15 months old, and my fev1 is at 65%.
