Guest guest Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Well, so far so good at 31 weeks, 4 days...the baby seems to be doing just fine, and aside from a little flare that I had due to a respiratory infection, all is well. I'm participating the Expect study that Genentech is doing on the effects of Xolair during pregnancy and the subsequent effects on the child. We'll be talking to the pediatrician about it when we go in on Friday to meet and greet. My obstetrician has been pretty receptive all along to my continuing the Xolair treatment while I've been pregnant. This doesn't surprise me a whole lot, I suppose, since it's a cat B med...prednisone is a C, and they told me from the very beginning that they'd use it if they had to. I'll keep you all posted!!

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Sheila - Thank you for being open to sharing with us how you are doing with Xolair and pregnancy! I am so excited for you! I do not have kids, but about 10 years ago I was on a plane with a high risk OB-GYN and I will never forget that she said that it is crucial for asthmatics to stay on their meds because the WORST thing is to get in a position where y ou don't have enough O2 for the baby! She also said the same thing about pred.... Good luck, God bless, and let us know how you and the baby are doing!!
