My mouth is hanging opened after reading all these stories, they sound so much like mine. When my twins were born2yrs ago i overheard my ped(new ped hadnt been with him long) talking in the hallway outside my hospital room about my babies clitoris, when i asked the nurse later on she would just shrug her shoulders and act dumb. I then questioned the ped again and he and 3 nurses sussounded the babies isolette discussing what they each thought! AT this point I started to feel as though someone had punched me in my stomach, the ped very casual about the whole thing said not to worry about it i said this is my child and i heard something about a test. He told me he wasnt going to tell me because he didnt want me to worry!!! NERVE!! He also sanid that he is SOOO sure that nothing is wrong he would buy me dinner if he was wrong. He also never explained anything about CAH or that my child go to a specialist immed. At the 2 day checkup in the office i questioned the dr again about her enlarged clitoris( Isaw a faint penis shape to it and was very freaked out) I then insisted he call immed for the test result, as I waited in the room for himm to tell me the results he screamed across the entire (packed) office to his nurse" find a endo on this babies ins & hurry up this little girl can turn into a boy!!" NOw does that top it all for unprofessional uneducated, no bedside manner at all!! That is when I Can relate to the knife in the head feeling! I then took my twins drove 1 hour (well worth it ) to the endo. we ended up testing both because they are twins. It seemed like forever waiting for the results. WE THANK THE GOOD LORD have a little girl that is only a carrier and doesnt need meds. but i can truly relate to what you all were feeling and still feel. Her clitoris is slightly enlarged i worry that it will get worse my ped says shes ffine ultrasound norm etc. People are so uneducated when it comes to anything about sexuality & gender. This is real stuff . real families NORMAL little girls & little boys. You feel that once you have told people one sex you are afraiid they will always look at your child differently. I have a wonderful ob gyn he is the one who saved me during those 1st weeks with the wacko ped. He also told you have a beautiful little girl who may need some meds to keep things on track. God Bless you all, Good Luck With all Your decisions. Take it one day at a time. For anyone that is a new mom dealing with these issues PLEASE realize that Drs are not GOD & trust your instincts, you are not alone. THese Dr need to address the health & life threagtening issues immediately when there is even a slight possibility of CAH or any other disease. As my ped was pussy footing around the endo immed. started my newborn on pediapred. Florieeff & solu cortef one of which was in injection in case of emergency (while the ped. didnt want to tell me about the enlarged clitoris because i may worry! If my newborn died I would have had something to worry about. Sorry about the rambling I just couldnt beleive the similiar stories! God Bless LIZ
