The plastic surgeon said it was a hemangioma. He said we didn't need to do anything to it unless it started to spread. I didn't want to do anything anyways. They would have to put her to sleep and the laser that they use is the same laser they use f…
My son has a very small hemangioma right between his butt cheeks. Its about the size a quarter and he has had it since birth. He is five years old now. The docs kept telling me it would go away as he got older, but it hasn't and I don't think it wil…
With my first at 36 weeks I was 3 cm and 70% effaced. And I had him at 38 weeks. With my second at 36 weeks I was 2 cm and 50% effaced and had her 8 days early.
I definitely am not an expert, but I have seen a few documentaries/shows on this. I am guessing they are worried because it is changing colors so quickly. Has is grown in size or elevation since birth? I do know if there is a risk of it "bursting" o…
not sure but she is adorable! best wishes getting a diagnosis. it could be a hemangioma, but it is big. good sign that there is hair growing out of it.
The pediatrician is sending us to a plastic surgeon on Thursday and he is supposed to tell us what it is. It seems like we should be seeing a dermatologist though. It's not painful and she's had it since birth although it has gotten darker - more li…
I do! It's a girl! She was born 10/22 at 2:20pm. I was dilated to a 2 when they induced me. And my water had already broken and was slowly leaking when I got there that morning. From the time they started the pitocin to the time I delivered it was o…
With all of my kids I have been at least 3 cm before my labor started. With my first I was dilated to 3 for a month before he came (on his due date) - my dr kept saying I'd have him before my next appointment, so by the time he came I felt like I wa…
I just left from the doctor. I am being induced this Thursday. My blood work looked ok but I still have protein in my urine and my blood pressure is still about what it was Friday. She said it's probably the early stages of preeclampsia but she is c…
I have a friend that was just recently put on bedrest for high blood pressure. She hasn't been diagnosed with preelampsia because she has no protein in her urine (yet). She was 36 weeks at the time. Her drs are very natural and their practice avoids…
My husband and I took Bradley Classes so I know all about Dr Brewers diet which is high protein. I've gotten plenty of protein my whole pregnancy. Protein is the easiest thing for me to get. I have more trouble getting green leafy veggies since I on…
I'm not a physician of any kind, so won't give any opinion about whether or not you have the the condition.
I was diagnosed with preeelampsia at 38wks with my first child. They put me on bed rest and I was told all I could do was lay on my left sid…
I might have preeclampsia. I blogged about my dr appointment. 38 Weeks pregnant. Let me know what you think. http://mothertobee.blogspot.com Do I have it?? Should I be induced??
I've been told being induced was really painful bc the contractions we…
