Yes, I saw it! I had an old edition of the book from when I had my son (1999) - I wonder if they've updated anything??
As an aside, I didn't care for those books though - they're too "mainstream" for my APself <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Have you read any of Dr. Sears' books?? i love him!

My daughters are 15 and 17 and have CF, and when my oldest daughter was young I read that pregnancy is very hard on a woman with CF and is not recommended because lung function decreases rapidly. Whatever source I read (and the doctor I asked) made it sound pretty dire. So I have always talked with the girls about adopting, and one especially likes the idea. But the other girl I think is a little saddened by the idea or never having a baby. I am glad to read that it is possible. I have always added when we talk about this, that we never know what might be possible with good health and new treatments. What do other mothers tell their daughters about pregnancy and cf? What have young women with cf been told?
Thank you!

I saw that when I was pg w/ Logan - I thought it was pretty neat. Though I agree w/ Wanderlost that the book itself is pretty bad and is a doom and gloom situation type book. Pregnancy week by week was a little better but not much. But I have to agree that the Sears books are great. Also "The thinking woman's guide to a better birth" but its not a pregnancy book, only a labor/delivery book.
Martha - yes pregnancy is not only possible but can be very successful and not have an impact on CF if you are healthy when you do it. Take a few minutes to google cystic fibrosis and pregnancy and read some of the research articles that pop up. Being healthy with a good nutritional status and good PFTs (FEV1 >50% is the cutoff) is important. I think its the rare CF doctor now that is discouraging women from having babies. Most doctors are now supportive. But good health is a must! Maybe that will motivate your daughters to take good care of themselves. Adoption is also great too.
