Hi everyone,
I am brand new to this website and though I'd ask you girls with CF about pregnancy. I am 26 years old and have been thinking about carrying a child and wanted some of your input. I have done really well with my CF so far and feel that I'd be able to carry a child with the approval of my doctor. If there is anyone who would like to share their story with me about their pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum that would be great.
- Was it easy for you to get pregnant?
- How were your PFT's before getting pregnant?
- Did you get sick during your pregnancy? Did you have to go on IV's during youre pregnancy?
- Were you able to take all your medications while pregnant? If not, which ones did you have to stop taking?
- Did your health/PFT's worsen while pregnant?
- How was your delivery? Did you have to do anything special while you were in labor?
- How was your health after having the baby?
Anything else you can tell me would also be appreciated. I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I've come to realize that there are a lot of CF women who have had children and continue to do well with their health. It gives me a lot of hope that I'll be able to carry a child for my family.
Thanks for your stories!
Leah
