Hi,
thanks for posting your query.
If fetus is having severe cystic fibrosis,there may be possibility of chromosomal anomaly also.
So I will advise you to go for termination.
Take care.

Hi, welcome to health care magic
Your daughther would need to assess the pros and cons of having the baby. She would need to determine if she would be able to manage with support from her family.
Aborting a child is an extremely personal decision and she may want to consider if or how it may affect her if she does it.
I hope this helps
