Hello all.

This is my first time posting here.  I have been popping in and out reading posts, but now that I have started researching, I have some questions.

My two year old daughter was diagnosed with non-classical CAH at 6 months of age.  So far, we are very lucky.  She shows no symptoms and is on no medications.

My husband and I are considering having another baby.  Since our daughter has non-classical CAH, can another child have classical CAH or do parents just pass on one form?  Is there prenatal testing available?  Prenatal therapy?  Is it imperative to get prenatal testing?  Should my husband and I undergo DNA testing?

We don't know if either of us have non-classical CAH.  We both could say that we have some of the symptoms, but I think that the some symptoms are so common that we can't say for sure.  I guess we are wondering what the chances are of our second child having non-classical CAH.  If neither of us has it, then I suppose they would be one in four, if Biology 101 memories are accurate.  But if one of us does, it would be 50-50.  And if we both have it, then it would be 100%.We want to ensure that our child be as healthy as possible, but my ob-gyn has very limited knowledge of the disorder, especially non-classical CAH.  Is there a prenatal specialist we should see?  I suppose I should interview my daughter's endocrinologist.

Anyway, you can see I am full of questions.  My research has yielded few answers.  Has anyone else who has more than one child gone through this?

Thanks.
