no he would have told me. Our Mother passed away a couple of years ago. and I am basically the only family he has. He and his girlfriend have only been together a couple of months. and I am afraid that she didn't realize the complications he would have in getting her pregnant.. I think she might have allready been pregnant. I don't know though. I just need him to have her tested for some of the testing they do on the fetus when she is able to. I guess we will know then. He has all the cf mutations. I am not sure the right wording but I know he has the stomache and the lungs. he is going on the transplant list in a couple of months. they had to get his weight and stamina up first.

Nikolle,
Another thing to remember is that virtually every state automatically screens for CF at birth. 2 of the 3 states that don't (Texas and Connecticut) are supposed to start doing so later this year. They don't have for every single mutation, but I believe the panel is 25 or so. It's rare, but there have been a few false negatives. Any screening that comes back positive is followed up with the 25 or so CF mutation panel. So there's a good chance you'll be able to find that out automatically because the screening should be positive even if the baby is only a carrier. If you don't know already, I would try to find out what known mutations your brother has. Here's the link for what each state does per the CF Foundation:
