Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Can anyone tell me a % of what the chances are to have another baby born with CF? Here is my reasoning. I would love to have another child, but my husband isn't with me on this. He doesn't know if he can do the CF thing again. Don't know why this would matter to him, yes we have had a hard go at this one, but know what to do now. He isn't the one that puts the brace on or off. He isn't the one that has stayed up night after night when he has had sores or slipping from the brace. I will admit that Karter has been more difficult to deal with then our daughter who is six. We have had several trips to the ER, tubes in, adenoids out, reaction to shots which ended up with a 6 day hospital stay, several castings, now ST and OT. I love both my children dearly and would like just one more. He does have a concern about my health. With each child it seems to be worse. First one on bed rest for 1.5 months, second on bed rest for 3 months, extremely high blood pressure to the point I would pass out. Both children have been induced the first on my due date and Karter 20 days before. had to stay in the hospital longer with the second, because my blood pressure would not go down. Was on meds to stop siezures, then on BP meds for 14 months after until it finally came down. I am planning on talking with my OB Dr. before I try to get pg, to make sure my body can handle it, but I don't want Karter haveing CF the only reason we don't have any more.
