Hi  Becki,

         First let me say congratulation impending birth of your baby. My daughter in now 16 months old and she was on the liquid Cortef(orange) up until it was recalled in July. Now she is on liquid Hydrocortisone and on Sodium Chloride ( she is a salt-waster). She is on Florinef and they do come in the pill form but like every one else we have a pill crusher (6.99 at any pharmacy or store). The injectibles(Solu-Cortef ) we have only had to use in case of emergency or surgery, extremely high fevers, ask your ped. endo. They usually have a care plan ( What and how much meds. to give and  what to do in case of an emergency). I think all of the children on the board  and adults with CAH also wear Med -Alert tags. I hope i could be of some help. Good luck and God Bless!!!
