Who says that because testing is available, that you have to terminate? The testing allows choice. My sister has made friends who have children with CF, they knew they carried the gene and took the attitude " I know what to do with CF kids, it doesn't bother me". Once again, I read judgment.

I also find it deeply unsatisfactory because we know that breastfeeding is the way to avoid obesity and yet we don't promote bf as part of the package. There's no mention in this of whether or not the mothers or children were bf to WHO guidelines. J - Original Message - From:

How much weight gain is irrelevant.  All the work on this has been done and is reported in "What Every Pregnant Woman should Know About Diet and Drugs in Pregnancy".  The question is always "What are you eating?"  The quality of the diet is everything.  Women can gain more than 16 kg and hav

I thought the point was that it's a call for routine testing. IMO routine anything is dangerous ground especially since so many prenatal tests have relatively high false positives and some problems are not picked up at all. I've just seen a woman spend the first 20 weeks of her pregnancy hav

Hi Robyn,   I'm sorry if it seemed as though I was judging. I will try to explain what I was trying to say.   It's a very complex decision to make regarding testing, because it implies that you will terminate if the baby has cystic fibrosis. I suppose a pregnancy is only a potential life,
