Did the baby have CAH? and WHY are you curious?
Maybe they didn't say anything because she looked big to you but they've seen bigger also they've been taught not to say anything negative in the room. Big is one thing but ambiguous or looking externally male is another.
They don't do clitorectomies anymore (that was done 30 years ago, today reductions are done if at all) and with respect but some of us with CAH are born with a completely fused labia and the urethra running through the clitoris. Gender undetermined until further testing and sometimes we are sent home mistaken for boys until we get dreadful ill and come close to death.
This is when they go back to the hospital to discover that the little boy that they told everyone about is really a little girl with a genetic birth defect. "If it ain't broke don't fix it"???? so you feel my menstrual cycle should of been forced to go through the urethra that ran through the phallus??? because it wouldn't of made it through there.
"The little girl's blessing is a family trait, go figure." CAH is a family trait that we may die from. The enlarged clitorises which doctors are leaning away from surgery about, the ambiguous, and external looking male genitals are due to a defective adrenal gland lacking the ability to make full or partial cortisol WHICH IS NEEDED in times of physical illness to survive.
Anyway, the way you wrote seemed really sweet but I just wanted to give you more detail.
