Congrats on your pregnancy and best of luck. There was someone on this board and for the life of me I can not find the message. I believe it was posted in late Dec. early January. I believe her name was Kelly. When I went back to post another message to see how her pregnancy was doing, the message was gone. Maybe someone or maybe she is still reading these messages and can ellaborate. Anyway she had taken Dex. with her second child. They had the CVS test, and lost her child. She is now pregnant again and chose not to take the Dex. and said she hoped she had made the right decision but she could not bare the pain of loosing another child. But you will read there are TONS of SUCCESSFUL Dex. pregnancies and I AM SURE yours will be one of them. What I am trying to say is, saying NOT using Dex. during a pregnancy is UNACCEPTABLE, is a strong statement. I realize we are all entitled to our opinion, and respect that. But I want you to also know there are different situations for not using the Dex. What happened to her is one of the reasons I chose not to if I ever became pregnant. I am still agonizing over the decision just to have another child. There are MANY who ridicule the fact that I would even consider having another child with this disease let alone not using Dex. That is hurtful. My daughter is my first. I had no idea she was going to have this disease. Having a girl with ambigiuous genitalia and exposed to the male hormone isn't a horrible thing. She is like any other girl. Your message made it sound like it was a terrible thing. I am sad to think you would rather have your tubes tied then to risk having a girl with these side affects. What if the Dex. turns out to be a hudge health risk to you and you had to stop taking it. What if that child turned out to be an affected girl. Would she be unacceptable? I know you would say no. I hope this message does not give a feeling of anger. I do not like to promote anger, especially here. We are all here because of the love of our children. I just wanted to let you know it isn't a terrible thing if Dex. turns out to be too much of a risk for a mom out there. I truly am happy for you and your family and wish the very best. Perhaps your case will be one more successful Dex story that encourages us, the ones that have chosen not to take the Dex. to do so. God Bless and Best of Luck.
