Hi, welcome to the site. There are a lot of Cf moms here. I have 2 kids myself and a stepson. I have not had a tubal and I don't think I will. I think when we are ready for permanent birth control, my husband will get a vasectomy - but we are not ready for that yet. I am suprized your doctor was so blunt. What are your PFTS right now??

Before I got pregnant I was in another marriage & at that time had no intention of having children. I was told cant/shouldnt/wont and married a man who already had children so the "pressure" would be off. I was having a lot of problems with my period affecting my health & consulted a doctor about getting a full hysterectomy. Even tho I didnt plan on having children it seemed pretty radical. Before I had a chance to make a final decision I left my husband. Within the next year I met the love of my life (current husband) and got pregnant. Ironically the same doctor I consulted with about the hysterectomy was the OB I went to locally for my checkups. After having my daughter I asked her about tying my tubes. She didnt feel comfortable doing it because I was still young & tho I had CF I had a great pregnancy & she didnt want to prevent any future possibilities just then. The doctor who delivered by daughter is at the hospital my clinic is at & its catholic so getting it done there was not an option. To this day altho I dont plan on bearing any more kids I havent tyed by tubes. I have an IUD in that is good for 10 years. I dont know all of your situation, but I dont think it was completely opened minded of your doctor to say this. Is it possible--YES......since your already had the procedure done its a bit late to look at the what ifs. Enjoy your child you have and your health!

I'm pretty close to getting a tubal myself. I'm not married, but if and when I get married, I will get a tubal.

I don't want to have kids naturally (may want to adopt later...I think adoption is wonderful) because I know it will affect my health. If not the pregnancy itself, the stress of having a child and/or the kid's germs will affect my health.

So I agree with your doc. And I wish more docs were like yours. Most CF docs are into the let your patients do whatever they want to avoid hurting their feelings. And I don't think docs discuss the consequences of pregnancy to their patients.

Adoption is a great option.

I think you did the right thing - thank you for sharing your experience. This board needs more perspectives like yours to balance the use your uterus perspective. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

"Pregnancy has little adverse effect on patients with stable CF." Chest, Vol 111, 963-969

"Women with CF who became pregnant were initially healthier and had better 10-year survival rates than women with CF who did not become pregnant. After adjustment for the initial severity of illness, women who became pregnant did not have a significantly shortened survival. " Chest. 2003;124:1460-1468

I've actually talked to people that said they felt their best when they were pregnant. It'd def a personal choice. Motherhood is the greatest thing, but it's not for everyone, but for me it would be a lonley world without my kids.

Vanessa, Congrats on Eli! Nothing like having a little one to motivate us in life and show us just how precious life is.

My husband and I are going to start trying in a couple of months for our first child. After I've had one though, I plan on having my tubes tied. My health is borderline for pregnancy, and while it is very important to me to have one child myself, it'll be better for me to adopt if we decide we want more than one. I had always planned on my husband having a vasectomy, but realized that he may want to have children again sometime in the future if he ever gets remarried after I die. Kind of a dark thought, but I'm just trying to be realistic <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">. So I'm sorry I can't give you any personal experience yet, but I do plan on having one done.

Pregnancy did agree with me. It doesnt for everyone & I would stake my house on it that the care of the child is much harder because that doesnt go away in 8- 9 months. If you have a problem during pregnancy its much harder to bounce back when you now have a baby to care for even with all the support in the world. Once you become a mom (pregnancy or adoption) its instinctive to want to do for that child.
