Hi Alyssa!

I went through similar feelings before I had my two daughters. I might worry about you if you didn't have those feelings<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> If you are thinking about it purely from a health standpoint, the stats don't really back up the notion that it will have a negative effect on your health long-term. Of course you can't base your decision on purely on "stats" but you get my drift! I went through both my pregnancies without having to do any hospitalizations which I am so grateful for.

I would say for now enjoy this stage of your life and down the road you and your future mate will have to make the decision that is best for you.

I just want to interject something that I learned the hard way. When I found out I was pregnant I was worried about my husband being a single dad etc.

What I have encountered is the emotional torture that my daughter goes through when I am sick & in the hospital. I never thought about how things would be during the progression of CF. I thought (as many do) about if/when I am gone.

This doesnt mean to not start a family, but it is definitely something to consider because you really need a support system during motherhood!!

Hi Everyone,

This topic could not have come at a better time! I was just recently sick with a cold, and one of my inlaws made a comment, asking, if I had a baby how would I take care of me and the baby? I was upset at first, thinking I could do it!! Than thinking a few days into it, I was like Oh crap.. how <i>would</i> I do it? This spiraled into, How in the heck <i>are</i> we going to do this?

We are not pregnant yet, but all these emotions that I thought about before are coming up again. I wish I had a clear cut answer. In dealing with CF, I know there is never a real clear cut answer. We have to do what is best for our family.

For us, we are going to try for a baby and than leave in the hands of a higher being. I have to rest assure that what is meant to be, will be..

Just my 2 cents..
