CF screening

Found out today that I am a genetic carrier of CF..I was certain I was bc of a family hx but I was confident we were in the clear since my hubby has no family hx..then the counselor said that doesn't matter there is still a 1 in 49 chance he's a carrier as well...now it's all I can think about. Anybody else dealing with this or something similar?

I know it can be scary, but even if he is a carrier as well (slim chance), then there's still only a 25% chance of the baby testing positive. Best of luck to you
