Judging from Amy's comment, it sounds like "gram negative rod" is a generic term for a family of bugs. Maybe you should ask the Dr. WHICH gnr you have so you can ask more about the actual or potential dangers of it. Maybe your experience with drugs and bugs plus knowing which one it is will help you feel a bit more in control. I personally find it much more stressful to be worried when I've got partial information than when I've got the whole story.
maybe it would be a good thing to see the big boys... think of it this way we CF ladies have for the most part only been able to have babies (safely) for the last 5 years so the little guys don't have a clue. I'd sure not want to be the guinea pig. Do you think your one of the CF mommies at that hospital? At least he/she seems to be in communication with someone knowledgeable at the big hospital. No worries - stay positive sounds par for the course.

I'd have to ask where that statisitc came from?
As far as the gram negative rods - I have those in the form of PA, though mine are not yet antibiotic resistant. They have not caused me any pregnancy problems, though I know there are other gram negative rod bugs out there. Ask lots of questions and arm yourself with knowledge!!

Yeah, it wasn't worded very well. The director of UPenn Perinatology told me that it has only become commonplace for CF women to consider pregnancy in the last 5 years. It happened before that point but much less commonly because the majority of CFers didn't make it to the point to consider it in a well enough state of health. For what its worth that's what she said and I extrapolated about the little guys having even less experience.
I'll post more in my blog for those that are interested about my visit with the high risk OBGYN.

Is this RGNR in your lungs or in your body or both?
Don't be afraid to ask your doctor or nurse questions if you're concerned.
I'm sure I had at least one strain of pseudomonas when I was pregnant and did OK. Try not to worry, it's often normal for little events to come up during the pregnancy.

Vampy,
I thought about you this morning because of the e coli outbreak.
If I am reading this right Amy is saying Resistant Gram Rod Stain could be e coli.
Have you eaten any spinach lately?
When I saw the news I immediately thought about you.
How are you doing?
Please keep us updated.
