Just to clarify, dexamethasone should be considered only when the father is a carrier and the child is at risk for Classical CAH.  I encourage anyone who is considering prenatal Dex treatment to give our office a call and speak with Kelly or me.

There is a good article on pregnancy and CAH in the Fall 2005 CARES newsletter http://caresfoundation.org/news_letter/fall05_index.htm .
