Im currently 8 weeks pregnant. Yesterday my obgyn called to tell me im a carrier of the cycstic fibrosis gene. I dont really know much about this disease. Today my boyfriend went to my doctors office to be tested to see if he was a carrier as well and an employee at the office scared him and me half out of our minds. She said that cystic fibrosis leads to muscular distrophy and cerebral palsey. I have virtually spent the afternoon surfing the internet for information but nothing shows any connection between diseases. Does anyone know if this is true or not. Unfortunetly my doctor is otherwise tied up and I have not been able to contact her.
