So...jack had his 12 month appointment today. Height and weight are all perfect...but he is a little far behind in verbal development, and gross motor skill development. Has anyone else’s children been delayed and needed early intervention? Could someone give me advice (picture for attention)

Moms,
Due to recent concerns brought to us by other users, we would like to announce that we will be adding a new feature to the mom.life app. This new feature is currently being worked on by our developers, and the release date should be relatively soon. We have had several concerns about users screenshotting posts, and sharing those posts outside the mom.life app. We do not tolerate this type of behavior, as it is a direct violation of our community guidelines. Per the new feature, you will...
My doctor said he would induce my labor at 38 weeks, if my baby girl still had growth issues and if the percentile dropped to 10 or less. Last thursday, it was 10 percentile, and he said if she didn't come on her own by 38 weeks, he would induce labor at that time. I'm 36 weeks 1 day today, he said my cervix was super thin, and 1cm dilated. Is there a possibility this can change... that my doctor will let her just come on her own? I don't want to be induced, i would much rather her come on her ...

Moms,
Two-month old Athena, daughter of @Athenas_mommy, is having cranial surgery for a fused forehead that she developed in the womb. The doctors are reconstructing her entire forehead, which will leave her unable to see for a week or so. And her recovery may be a long process. Please keep Athena and her family in your thoughts and prayers. If you'd like to leave a message, you can contact her mom or write a comment here.
Best wishes,

Moms,
We've seen lots of posts about moms trying to naturally induce labor quite early. If you are interested in this kind of information, you should seek the advice of a medical professional because every pregnancy is different. For educational purposes and without any judgement, here is what the March of Dimes states about babies born too early. We will also post this on our blog this weekend.
Babies born too early may have more health problems at birth and later in life than babies born lat...
My son was evaluated through early intervention at 10 months. The kiddos need to be delayed 30% in 1 area or 20% in 2 areas. If you qualify, the fees are income based. The evaluation is free. We didn’t ultimately qualify then, but now my son is in speech through a private provider. EI would have been nice bc they come to your home or can go to daycare.
I’m in DuPage county, feel free to message me if you want to chat further on this.
