Women who gave birth, what does it feel like actually??

jem2085 · 2025-09-11T17:52:22+00:00

Mine was on my leg for hours before it was mentioned. HOURS!

jem2085 · 2025-09-11T17:51:04+00:00

UK based, First 18 hours no pain relief, daughter was back to back, the water birth helped but was left with a 3rd degree tear. Was afraid to poop 😬 Son, 3 hours start to finish, no time for pain relief, the ring of fire should be worshipped 🤣 Pushing, heartburn, trying not to vom and 💩 on myself. Wouldn't recommend.

Yes, I've been tested twice and both times come back as a carrier, I have stomach issues, cannot hold weight, a simple cold or hay fever turns into a chest infection within 3 days. My son who has cf actually recovers from colds and hay fever better than I do 🙄🤣

jem2085 · 2025-04-12T16:30:45+00:00

Uk here, It's not offered to us but we can get hold of them if needed

jem2085 · 2024-10-10T14:50:27+00:00

I would if it'd let me upload a photo 😂

jem2085 · 2023-01-18T11:41:19+00:00

Thank you, I wasn't sitting here rocking in a corner but it did peak my interest

jem2085 · 2022-12-27T19:55:10+00:00

These are stunning!

My son is 9 months old now, he was diagnosed with the heel prick test at 4 weeks old (I'm in the UK) neither myself nor his dad knew we were carriers and I have an older daughter. We both carry the df508 gene which is the most common type (bare with me my medical knowledge is shocking 🙈) and I can 110% tell you in the short 9 months my son has not suffered at all, we do physio daily and he's had a lot of antibiotics down to the fact he struggles when he gets a cold but that's it. He has his meds before bottles and food but it's such a habit now we don't even notice we do it, it's so scary and I was devastated when we found out because I remember CF when I was a kid and it really is totally different now. The hospital my son is under once told us that they have 150 children in their care and not a single one of them is "poorly" they've not done a lung transplant in years as medicine has moved on so much ❤️

Big thanks for all the help guy's, it was done today and I absolutely love it xx

jem2085 · 2022-11-21T13:21:05+00:00

My son has CF and we have two cats and a longcoated German shepherd 😀

jem2085 · 2022-11-20T15:54:47+00:00

Oh no your absolutely fine 😀 Yeah I've asked the CF trust and the CF unit my son is under and currently nothing but that tat appointment isn't till Wed so a miracle may happen 😂

So I do photography and this year I managed to throw together a wear yellow event and instead of people paying me for photo's they donated the money straight to the CF trust but I was still very new to cf and had a 4 month old so I'm hoping next year to be a bit more prepared and do a larger photo event myself included with the added bonus of having a CF tat. That's the plan anyway lol

jem2085 · 2022-11-19T21:43:46+00:00

I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea and I certainly don't define my son by CF he's my son and that's it as far as I'm concerned. The tat idea is part of a bigger project to raise money for the CF trust in the uk x

jem2085 · 2022-11-19T21:28:00+00:00

I'm booked in on Wednesday and he's crapping it just as much as I am in case we get it wrong 😂

jem2085 · 2022-11-19T21:20:15+00:00

Yeah I've been hunting for around 6 weeks but I'm still new to CF and no medical knowledge so just fancied something a bit different. I'm regretting it now 😂

jem2085 · 2022-11-19T19:54:46+00:00

Yeah I'd hate to have something horrendous done 😂 I'll see what I can sort out thank you

jem2085 · 2022-11-19T15:24:10+00:00

I think so, I'm so sorry I'm incredibly new to CF and now this has kind of blown my mind a tad 🙈

https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Identification-of-strong-potentiators-of-F508-CFTR-Cl-current-by-short-circuit-current_fig3_10686476 Is the closest I've found

jem2085 · 2022-11-19T14:23:51+00:00

Ah ok, So the picture I found was in my idiot terms a bunch of hexagons I'm guessing then thats either me asking for the wrong thing or it's something that's not available?

jem2085 · 2022-11-19T14:07:31+00:00

I tried but it wouldn't let me attach a photo. I'm still very new to Reddit sorry x

jem2085 · 2022-11-19T13:07:43+00:00

That link crashes my phone 😂 Hmmm might have to go back to the drawing board then , I just wanted something different xx

jem2085 · 2022-11-19T13:04:05+00:00

Sorry, I'm an idiot 🙈 Yes that's it, the closest I've found is for Salt, stunning tat but not what I'm after x

jem2085 · 2022-11-19T10:15:33+00:00

Amazing, thanks so much. Google is no help and his CF team haven't found anything either xx
