RE: Happy news-

,

I did have to see the genetic counselor before the procedure. Your doctor

is right, you probably will be wasting your time. Actullay, I did most of

the talking and our counselor just kept saying " That's right " . I was

surprised at how long it took to get the results. The basic results were

ready in 6-10 days, but the CF test took much longer. Good luck with the

amnio!

Re: Happy news

Congrats Coleen,

Welcome to the pregnant club! So far it's and myself. I am due in

July, I think that is due in May too! Glad to hear that your CVS

test results came back with good news.

I'll be having an amnio in 5 weeks or so then I'll have to wait a few more

weeks to get the results. Did you have to see a genetic councilor before

having the CVS test done? My ob/gyn said that even though we could probably

tell the councilor more about the genetics of CF then they already know, we

have to see them before the amnio. I suppose it is just routine.

Happy news

Happy Holidays! We have big news are our house - I am pregnant! We are

expecting a baby boy at the end of May. Elyse is very excited to have a

baby brother. She informed me that she thinks we should name him " Baby

Jesus " . Needless to say, I will not be taking her suggestion. I have

had a

tough time with the pregnancy and we waited almost 4 weeks for our CVS

results. Thank goodness, the baby is only a carrier and my

complications

have ended. I am hoping the second half of my pregnancy is much less

eventful. Elyse will be three at the end of next week and she has had a

healthy year. We may have to switch CF doctors due to insurance issues,

but

I am not too concerned right now. I hope everyone has a great holiday.

Take care,

Colleen
