I agree with you and that is just how I felt when we had our last two sons. We had one daughter and then a son and our son was diagnosed with CAH. It was a shock and there was so much to learn. The first couple of years were learning years and we spent time in the hospital, at the doctors office and calling the doctor at all hours of the day and night.  When we learned we were having another baby a year after we had our son I was scared to death. All the what if’s....what if I had two sick babies, what if something happened and I didn’t know what to do, what if it were a girl, what if she was born with ambiguous genitalia? Just what if?

 

So it is hard to think about, and we prayed and worried (and then needed to pray more to not worry) and everything worked out fine. We had another son after that and I can honestly say I didn’t breath easy until both babies had their bloodwork come back negative for CAH. If it had been then it would just be a part of life, but to be honest I was so thankful that neither of them or my husband and I would have to worry about CAH with them. It does get easier as they get older and I know that God doesn’t give us more then He knows we can handle but if we don’t have the faith to believe that then it’s not easy to remember.

 

Hugs to all who worry and wonder about another baby. I can say from my point of view it does work out and it is alright. Our son just told me last week that this January it will be three years since he’s had to have a shot. :) I remember praying he would be healed from CAH but all of the people that I’ve met and the things that I’ve learned after he has been diagnosed, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. It’s a journey that I’m thankful for and I’m teaching our son to be thankful for it too.
