re: re: re: If your first child had SWCAH, how did you decide to have more?

I have two SW CAH boys-  they are 7 and 10.  I really wanted a big family 2 or more kids and was really put off by the CAH-  I just made myself get pregnant again,  I was in no way happy about it really.  I am so glad I did.  I just love my kids are I am fine with both of them having CAH,  in fact I think for a family dynamic it works out really well,  no one is the sick one or special one,  they both take meds and go the Dr. etc....

I am not saying it was always super easy, but it is now.   They are really normal kids,  they play sports and go to school just like everyone else I know.

I did take Dex for my second pregnancy until the amnio results came back, I took it for about 22 weeks.  I did not enjoy the DEX,  I was super moody!  hungry and could not sleep (which drove me nuts!).

Good luck making your decision.  I know it is not easy.
