Carrier

[crazyboxer01]

My husband and I recently found out we were both carriers for CF mutations. We were tested because my husbands family has a history of CF and we wanted to have children. We decided to continue trying, and I just found out i'm pregnant. I'm going to have the fetus tested for CF by CVS around the 11th week (valentines day to be exact) and i'm more nervous than I thought i'd be. It takes about two weeks after that to get the results. I guess i'm just fishing for success stories of other couples that have done this, and have had healthy children the first time around.

This must be scary for you. I'm not completely sure this is the right place for you to post this, as most of us here either have Cf and have children or have spouses with Cf and have or are trying to have kids. You might try posting in the families section.

I'm sure you know that if you are both carriers you have a 25% chance of having a baby with Cf, a 50% chance of having a child who carries one of your genes and a 25% chance your child wil be completely unaffected.

Have you and yoru husband discussed what you're going to do if the CF test on the baby is positive? Hopefully it isn't, but if it is I think you'll find this site to be very helpful and informative.

good luck.

i personally have cf and am currently pregnant, while my husband and i were dating he was tested, he tested negative which was a relief to us. but my mom and dad both had no idea they were carriers of the cf gene. i wasn't diagnoised until i was two and i'm now 21. i have two siblings, my older sister who doesn't have cf and is a carrier of the cf gene and a younger brother who doesn't have cf and is not a carrier. my mom did do the cvs test while she was pregnant with my brother. but i also think about this you are only handed what you can handle. hopefully the test will come back negative for you guys! good luck!

Thank you very much for the feedback. I'm going to try to not stress until I know. My husband and I had many discussions on the possibilities, but you can say you are going to do one thing but want to do another once you are in the situation. Maybe i'll post on the family page but i think i might just wait until I know for sure. Thanks again!
