A case of a cystic fibrosis patient with two pregnancies that ended in deliveries at 30 and 29 weeks' gestation, respectively, is presented. The author suggests that the increased life expectancy of cystic fibrosis patients because of therapeutic advances will increase the need to examine the association and effects of fertility in individuals with this genetic disease.
