Amber, I took the dex when pregnant with my son Shane and I hated the stuff. The side effects I experienced were: weight gain acne extreme insomnia general unwell feeling I would be unwilling to ever take this stuff again which is why I doubt I will ever have any more kids. I have two beautiful children, a boy and a girl and I think I'll consider myself lucky and stop there. I hope you find the dex to be much nicer to you than it was to me!!! Good luck with your pregnancy, I hope you have a beautiful healthy baby!
