thanks Kaye, and congratulations on your third child. Whew! It's relieveing to hear your experience. I know my doctor told me it's really nothing to get concerned about, but you know how it feels right?  You said it, Frightening is the right description. Did you actually find your first daughter's legs to be on the shorter side when she was first born? I guess since she does not have CAH, dex really can't be the reason. Oh, I've been keeping up to date on alot of things here on the site. Just read through Cares Foundation newsletter and what Dr. New had to say on the topic of dex treatment.  Can I ask how much dex you are taking now and also if you've taken it for your second daughter. I'm taking .25mg /4x day total of 10mg. Just want to know if they prescribe the same way in the US.
