Hello all.
I'll be direct: any chance of having kids with a lung function of around 40%?

I know a doctor's opinion is what counts here but i just need to know if you have ever heard of this.

Thanks.

No, I've never personally heard of it with a good outcome. I've heard of it in the 50s, and typically with a very difficult, poor outcome. One example I personally know of is of a mom in the high 40s who gave birth and sadly passed away within a year after. I'm sure there were other factors in that than just numbers though.
Pregnancy lowers your pfts, thats a given. Most will rise back up, and in a few % of moms-it won't.
If a mom begins pregnancy in the 70s, dips down to the 50s during and after-with the right lifestyle she should typically go back up.
So, if a patient gets pregnant with pfts in the 40s for example, they will inevitable lower-the issue there is how low...At that point you are getting into dangerously low. Serious risk for you, and it must be remembered thats also a serious risk for baby.

What I can say I <b>have</b> heard of is people with pfts in 30s and 40s and bringing up to a much higher baseline. And what better motivation could you have than a goal like this.

Best wishes to you. I began my pregnancy journey here many years ago with low pfts and a not so good lifestyle. I'm proof that things can turn up.

my lung function was in the 80's before having my daughter. now i'm struggling to get it back to the 70's. some of our lung functions go up after having a child and some go down or stay baseline. good luck, just wanted to share my situation.

To clarify (since it was brought up to me)-What I'm talking about is patients-not pregnant cfers-but patients that have raised their pfts up from the 30s and 40s-to a better baseline to make it possible to carry a pregnancy safely.
I'm not talking about going into a pregnancy with very low pfts.
Just making the point that pwcf with lower pfts CAN come back after low #s.
Just clarifying.
