Re: chances of a second child with CF

[Guest guest]

I think I read somewhere about 5% if neither you nor your husband had it as a

child and maybe 13% if both you had it? Someone will probably post the correct

info

chances of a second child with CF

Does anyone know what the chances of having a second child with

Clubfoot?

I'm really not taking it very well and I'm scared if my husband and I

have another child it will have the same problem.I've already told him

I dont want any more children because of this reason

I too have 3 kids, and only one with CF. I think it's hard to take

when it's so fresh, when you're going through the routine of castings

and shoes are new, and 23/7...but time goes by, and you realize that

all in all you have a beautiful healthy child. It's like labor--who

hasn't yelled that they're never having more kids during labor? I

asked my midwife if she could give hubby a vasectomy right then and

there...:-) But time heals all wounds (hehehe) and there we are, 2

years later, wishing we could have another " little little " ...instead

of the grubby nose-picking 2 year old we currently have....and so, as

they say, the rest is history. I wouldn't worry about it too much,

your chances really are pretty low. And if it were to happen again???

Well, you're now a prepared CF Mommy!
