Cf and pregnancy: You can carry to term but I would suggest you go under the care of a high risk obstetrician preferably at a teaching hospital

Yes and no...: Although there is nothing specific to your CF that puts your pregnancy at higher risk, the fact that you have a chronic serious health condition does. Follow your meds to the letter and consult early if you have not already done so with a maternal-fetal medicine specialist who is best equipped to help you through the pregnancy. Congratulations and good luck!
