I am trying to do a bit of research on the Dex treatment that you take while pregnant. If anyone has any information or input, I would appreciate it. I noticed on the board that some moms opted not to take the treatment. Here are some of my questions: 1. What are the side effects for mom? 2. What are the side effects for baby if the baby does not have cah? 3. If a pregnant mom takes the dex for the entire nine months because she knows the baby is a girl with cah, how effective is the treatment and what are the chances the baby will have to have corrective surgery anyway? 4. How risky is the amnio and cvs for the baby and is there any other way to find out if the baby is cah? 5. For those of you who opted not to take the Dex therapy, what were the things that you considered that helped you make your decision? 6. Is there anyone who did not have the amnio done, what was done when the baby was born? 7. When planning another pregnancy, is it necessary to have DNA workup done on the whole family and why? (we have a son with salt wasting cah so we know we are carriers)
