I want to know where I can find information on infant screening for CAH in Canada.
I know that I'm not going to get any clear diagnosis while pregnant and I'm due in 3 months.
The baby has a phallus, shown in our 20 week ultrasound (not the same image as the signature pic, that's it's profile!)
Even if I don't have CAH isn't it totally worth screening for in an infant that is presumably male? I co sleep and breast feed my babies, world's best dad. I'm terrified that I might lose him one night for something a test could have picked up.
We have prenatally screened for everything I could think of, add CAH to the list. I love my kids and want the best for them.
Any information that anyone has about screening/treating infants let me know. I hear that it is almost mandatory in most states. I'm in Canada and having a home birth with a midwife. I will let her know I want the screening done for sure, but any additional info to prepare me for what I can expect should we have a CAH diagnosis in the baby would be great. Thanks so much.
How is CAH tested for in children? My daughters are two and five (five year old is not with us, I was told I could never have children because of the way my hormones are but I got pregnant on the pill when I was 18 )
Thats my two year old with my wife and I in the pictures below :biggrin:
