I am 27 weeks pregnant and my daughter is 16 months old and started using the vest about a month ago. When we do her vest she usually sits on our lap and watches one of her tv shows. I didn't think anything of it until recently, but is it okay to have the vest vibrating against my belly for 20 minutes each night?

Of course as a disclaimer, I'm going to say check with your doctor, because every pregnancy is different. BUT, there are a lot of women on this site with CF who are also moms, and used the vest during their pregnancies. There's even a video of one of the moms using her vest.

Hi,
I was worried about using the vest during pregnancy with concerns that I would dislodge the baby, etc.
I asked my high risk OB and she has no issue with the vest as long as it is not over the stomach, which it isn't for me. I also use the acapella so I alternate.
I am also now allowed to use my class B drug cayston too which will be nice.

I'm not usually one for paranoi or unsubstantiated worry but....right now I cant help it.
We are doing our 4th Frozen embryo transfer with the last of our frozen embryos. I probably wouldnt have thought twice about it but I saw this accupuncturist who seemed very knowledgeable and then she started talking about not taking long trips, avoiding vibrations etc, never having any idea about my vest. Even though I think she is full of BS it got into my pshyche a bit.
I was on bed rest for 2 days, light duty a 3rd and I couldnt bring myself to do my vest or any PT---dumb I know, someoene please tell me how dumb!
Today I decided I will do it with the bottom unclasped whcih on my respirtech is still more than a chest vest. I miscarried on our 3rd FET and I am a bit paranoid now. I have googled every variation of vibrations, car rides, pregnancy, jostling, early miscarriage, everything and found no scientific fact anywhere.
I did not use the vest last time we were pregnant so I cant rely on that to insubstantiate my fears. Any other IVF'ers out there?
