Kerry,

Congratulations!

My four children are fine (so far). My oldest did have a problem with his kidney which had to be corrected surgically. Since he had a problem (and because I have CAH), my subsequent pregnancies were covered with a fine toothed comb (I had at least 4 ultrasounds pre pregnancy). My youngest had a heart murmur when he was first born. It disappeared after 2 days and hasn’t been heard from since. I do worry since their is a strong cardiac history on my husband’s side and on my side.

Try to hang in there and be optimistic. These pregnancies can be a rollercoaster but everything USUALLY turns out fine.

Good Luck!
