Hi, I was just wondering how many pregnant people are out there right now. I know there were a lot of spring and summer babies and now the list seems a little on the quiet side. If you're pregnant... *When are you due? *Is this your first pregnancy? *How is the pregnancy going so far? *How...

Hi there, OH MY is all I can say! It has definitely been a rollercoaster ride since little Gavin entered our lives. My hormones were CRAZY the first week or two after giving birth. I was so extremely emotional and crying for everything. I wasn't sure how long it would last and I started...

Hi everyone, I finally have a minute to sit down and tell you how it went... I was scheduled for induction last Sunday night. The plan was to start Cervidil that night and then begin Pitocin in the morning. When I was checked I was 3 cm, 75% effaced, and -2 station (which was an improvement...

Hi everyone, We just got home today after baby Gavin arrived Monday morning at 8:30 am. What an awesome experience! I will post more about the birth later when I get a chance. In the meantime, click on the link below to see the baby. <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge...

Hi everyone, Looks like I had my last OB appointment this morning. Because of my PUPP rash, they have let me have the option to induce at 39 weeks. My EDD is really calculated as 8/4, so I guess I've been wrong all along. Apparently they don't change your EDD unless it's over 7 days...

I had my weekly OB appointment this morning. The BPP was perfect and the cord has completely unwrapped from the neck now! That doesn't mean it won't re-wrap, but at least for the moment it's gone. So my NSTs will be discontinued. The growth scan showed him to be over 7 lbs and 88th...

Hi everyone, Don't get me wrong - I am completely enjoying my pregnancy and I am so thankful I am pregnant. As the end is nearing though, things are becoming more uncomfortable and I'm a little more whiney! hehe. So I just thought I'd start a thread of complaints just to make me feel...

Hi there, I had a CF appt yesterday and all went well. PFT's were the same as always. I really thought they'd be lower because I am feeling more SOB now. Although the doctor says my lower lobes need a little work because he heard stuff in there (which I usually am clear). He says it's...

Hi everyone, I had an OB appointment today. They measured the baby and he's already 5 lbs...so he's measuring in the 81st percentile. He is the size of a 34-week-old fetus even though I'm only 32 weeks. Not sure how big he'll end up being! Anyone on here give birth to a large baby? They...

Hi everyone, I noticed a lot of lung pain posts on here lately, but none of them talk about the same pain I'm having...so I thought I'd ask if anyone experiences this kind. Occasionally when I sleep for a long period during the night (usually more than 8 hrs), I wake up with some strange pain...

Hi, Forgot this one detail about my OB appt. I asked her if I could have the baby tested for CF after it was born. I want to just have that feeling of reassurance after the baby is born, even though the donor was negative for the top 80-some mutations. There's always still a chance (like in...

Hi, I went to my OB appt yesterday. I first did some bloodwork and then a 1-hr GTT. Then I went to my u/s. They wanted to check the baby's growth because I haven't gained any weight yet. I am still only at 183.5 lbs and I was 184 lbs pre-pregnancy. OB wanted me to see the nutritionist but...

Hi again, At my last OB appt, the NP told me that starting at 32 wks, they want to do a BPP or NST at every visit. At first I thought it was a good idea because I'm always excited to see the little guy on u/s (for the BPP). But after I left, I thought maybe all that wasn't necessary. I'm...

Hi, Just wondering if you guys could tell me when you first started to feel SOB during your pregnancy? I always thought it was supposed to happen near the end when the baby is pushing up on your diaphragm, but I seem to be starting to experience it a little already. Also, was there a...

Hi there, I had a question for all you gals who have already had babies in the hospital. How does it work with all your medicines and treatments and everything? I know if you're admitted for a tune up at a CF hospital, they give you all your meds and prescribe your CPT and everything, right...

Hi, Unfortunately, I have some minor stress incontinence when I'm not pregnant, but only when coughing really really hard. (Anyone else have that problem?) Ever since I've been pregnant, it has gotten SOOO bad! I know I'll be back to my normal self once the baby is born, but I had no idea I...

Hi everyone, I just heard from another CF list that Anne had her baby! I believe she had it last Wednesday (the day after she last wrote on the forum). Yea! Anne - Hope you and baby are doing well!

Hi there, Just was wondering if anyone else has had abdominal pains from coughing when pregnant? Sometimes when I cough, my lower right or lower left stomach hurts (like right in that crease between your legs and stomach). Almost like I'm going to give myself a hernia or something. I've only...

Anne, You still hanging in there girl? Hope you're doing okay and still managing through these last couple weeks (or days).

...a BOY! Yeah! We are very excited to be having another boy. We won't have to buy much now. Plus we only had a boy's name picked out (we couldn't pick a girl's name if our lives depended on it - LOL). Everything with the baby looked good. He's already 10 ounces, which I think is...
