Your FEV1 and pregnancy

[Jeana]

Pre for about 3 years prior to pregnancy: 75
One month before pregnancy: 80
During pregnancy consistently dropped until lowest point: 46 (3 hospitalizations)
Maybe in 50's when delivered
61 one day after delivering
81 one month after delivering
66 two months after delivery, but I blew at my allergist's office and they didn't have me do my breathing the same, so I'm unsure if it was accurate

About being high risk, I was considered high risk and the only "testing" they did was extra ultrasounds, which I frankly loved. I denied amniocentesis and other testing in womb. I wouldn't have gotten an abortion regardless. My husband had been carrier tested, though.

My weight was good to begin with and I gained about 30 pounds. That did not stop me from having lung problems during pregnancy, but the baby and I came out fine.

My FEV1 score is 34% and reading everything here made me very depressed. I'm VERY blessed to have had a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby boy (minus the double pneumonia I contracted at 36 weeks!!) but I plan on having another baby and reading this makes me very sad.
