My rollercoaster continues. I found out today that I am carrier for the Cystic Fibrosis gene. DH now has to go get tested, if he is also a carrier there is a 25% chance our little lady could have it. Does any one have any experience with any of this? I have done a little research and found that while things are different with treatment a infant/child/person can live a normal life. Being pregnant is not helping me handle all these emotions I am feeling

I had a close friend with CF growing up, and she had a truly wonderful and full life. She needed treatments, but she was happy and did everything the rest of us did - sleepovers, school trips, dances, general teenager nonsense. She lived to be almost thirty. It's a really serious diagnosis, but it isn't the horror it once was, and they are doing so much research and making so much progress on treatments.

DS: 18 months 4/2/2015
Baby #2 EDD: 6/1/2017
Turns out my BFF is a carrier, just like you, although I don't think her H has ever been tested. I think a lot of people must be totally asymptomatic carriers, so hopefully it's nbd for you guys, either, and your sweet LO ❤
