Congratulations on your pregnancy!! Siblings often do not have the same symptoms. I have a four year-old daughter with cf as well as a 2 year-old son with cf. Jack had meconium illeus at birth and has liver disease. Sophia did not have meconium illeus and she does not have liver disease. Sophia had really bad reflux as a baby while Jack did not. They both are pancreatic insufficent. Sophia has had a difficult time gaining weight, mostly due to her lack of interest in eating. Jack gains weight well and eats well. They both have had pnueominia once when they were infants. Jack has cultured E. coli and pseudomonas while Sophia has only cultured staff since she was diagnosed.

I have identicle twins with cf and they have the exact same symptoms, and all the same problems too at the same time, probable due to them being identicle.
