FS Cysitic Fibrosis carrier

October 1, 2005

We have had our FS since May. He is almost 6 months old. Early on we found out thet he was a CF carrier. We had him tested because bio-mom was also a carrier. Now, my question is, has anyone out there had a baby that started out as a carrier but eventually was diagnosed with CF? I think I am periniod everytime he coughs or has a runny nose ect. And recently he had started spitting up quite a bit and I know CF has relation to digestive problems. Any advice or info would be great!!!

My nephew has Cystic Fibrosis.

If your fs has not been diagnosed with CF he'll not get it. It takes 2 carriers to produce a child with CF. It only matters that he's a carrier if he marry's another carrier. Then they have a 1 in 4 chance of having a child with CF.
