We have 2 SWCAH boys -2 1/2 & 8months.  The first few months after we had our first, I couldn’t imagine having another!  However, as we grew "comfortable"  (meaning only that we knew how to handle meds, when to give shots,....) we started thinking about it.  I had a very difficult pregnancy with him (non CAH related) and a horrible delivery that I was still recovering from 6 months after he was born, that said....we found out I was pregnant with my 2nd son while I was still praying about whether or not we should try for a 2nd -God gave me a very definitive answer :)

When we found out our 2nd was on the way, I prayed that if he had to have something -let it be CAH -we waited to find out about his diagnosis until after he was born.  He had a "trying" beginning as well -a small hole in his lung sent him home on oxygen for a month.  All said and done, no one wishes CAH for their child -or any other illness, but I am thankful that this is soemthing that our state tested for & saved my sons first life, and know we can manage.  I’m not naive to think there won’t be issues to deal with, but we are truly blessed by these little miracles! -and 2 is it for us -because that’s all I can handle running around -not because of CAH.  -it’s all a personal choice.  -and I know that if I had a girl & had to got through surgeries & such, I may think differently, but that’s someone else’s story to share.
