Hi Barbara

Congratulations on the forthcoming arrival of your new baby.  I was on Dex during two pregnancies after our first daughter was diagnosed with CAH at birth.  Thankfully, our next two daughters were non CAH, however I was on Dex for a number of weeks until we found out and I piled on the weight.  My appetite was enormous and I just couldn’t seem to ’fill’ up, I could just eat and eat and eat.  I’m not sure how I would have ended up had I continued on the Dex throughout the pregnancy.   It’s not as easy as saying stop eating or eat healthy food, it’s just so hard.  Just remember that it is for a very good cause, maybe do some pregnancy friendly exercise, and plan a weight loss program for after the baby is born!

Good luck.
