I am currently pregnant with my 3rd child.  i took the dex at the beginning but this child is not affected so i could stop.  I have 2 girls with SWCAH.  i debated a lot whether to take the dex with my second child and decided not to.  i debated again this time and decided to take it.  i don’t regret either decision.  to be honest if i had taken the dex with my second child i don’t think that i would have had any more children.  I was never so thankful to come off a medication.  I have never suffered from depression but i do think that the dex messed with my mind, I am usually a very strong person emotionally but i struggled during early pregnancy and this has definately been the most difficult pregnancy.  Having the CV’s test and waiting for results did not help either of course.  I think that it is a very difficult decision to make whether to take the dex.  I would not like to have to take it during a whole pregnancy but then it does give a positive result in preventing virilisation which will hopefully prevent the need for an operation for your daughter.  I think it would help to consider how your other pregnancy was, ie straight forward or not.  i usually have good pregnancies so this can make taking the dex easier.  jo
