A question from : Is albuteral nebulizer treatment save for a 10 month old baby?
Just diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. His lung x-rays are clear. His digestive system is the problem area. Why would they automatically put him on these treatments?

Question by Linda: Can I force the father of my baby to take a test to see if he is a carrier of Cystic Fibrosis?
I am 14 weeks pregnant and I have been tested and found out I am a carrier of Cystic Fibrosis. The doctors told me to have the baby’s father come in and get tested also. If the baby’s father is a carrier, it is a very high chance the baby could have CF. If the baby’s father is a carrier the doctors can start me on some things that can help prevent it from being carried to the child. However, the baby’s father is giving me a hard time about getting this done. Is there anything I can do to force him to take this test. It is just a urine test. That simple. But he is being difficult and I’m worried about my child’s health. Please help.

Question posed by kelli: If Both parents are carriers for cystic fibrosis will each baby be born with it or at least a carrier?
1st pregnancy baby had full blown cf(rip), 2nd baby is just a carrier. Is it possible for the 3rd pregnancy not have cf or even be a carrier???
The No 1 answer:
Answer by kik
1/2 chance to being a carrier, 1/4 chance to having full blown, and 1/4 chance to being normal and not a carrier.
Just so you know, I know nothing about cystic fibrosis so yea….

Question by Mrs. Kelly: Could my baby have cystic fibrosis?
2 of the many symptoms for cystic fibrosis are COUGHING A LOT and SALTY TASTING SWEAT. Well, my 9 month old has had a cackle that sounds like a mild cough off and on since she was about 4 months old. The doctor just thinks it’s a quirk of hers. Her sweat is not salty per se, but smells and tastes VERY VERY bitter, like metal. ??? I just started noticing the latter, so I am calling the doctor in the morning. Do you think there is a chance she could have cystic fibrosis? All else is normal (no other symptoms).

Question posed by ChemImpaired: Blood test to determine sex of baby?
I had asked a question if there was a blood test to determine the sex of the baby a few days ago. Everyone told me there wasn’t, but i had my appointment today with the Center for Medical Genetics and they did it! They said it was 99% accurate and i’ll be getting my results in 7-10 days! They took 3 vials of blood, one for the sex of the baby, one for cystic fibrosis, and the other for down’s syndrome. I also had the ultra sound done. Just wondering if anyone has had this blood test done?

Answer by i love my baby girl Kaelie Skye
