Has anyone or their child ever dealt with precocious puberty? My five year old has been dealing with this, and I have never missed her appointments. Today her CT scan came through and Hubs didn't wake me. They're saying her results are good but they're rushing her back to the main Endocrinologist three months sooner than scheduled so now I'm worried something did show up but they're going to let her specialist handle it. Just wanted to ask a few questions.
Sorry when the brood is up at the same time, it's hard to check-in. Her hair is very advanced (this isn't new though) and her chest, I've noticed devolpment not a huge difference from our last check in but definitely noticeable. She's had to wear deodorant since she was four, but nothing hugely different than before.
It’s puberty that begins too soon (before 8 in girls and 9 in boys) It’s a condition where the pituitary gland is triggered to release hormones too soon in children.
Is it dangerous or just puts them at risk for being overly developed too soon?
@divinely_favored, It’s generally more common in females, but the physiological and psychological effects definitely vary by the severity of each individual case.
Glad your docs are keeping a close eye OP ❤️
@divinely_favored it can cause some devolpment issues(stunted growth for one) and behavorial issues. There's a couple of studies I believe linked to an increase chance of breast cancer later in life. So far at least personally Shy is extremely tall for her age, has breast and pubic devolpment and behavorial issues mainly dealing with advanced emotions she is underprepaired to handle.
I've never heard of that what is it ?
Has anyone else thought of this nonsense with her being weird, not having consistent information etc. as seeming a whole lot like the beginning of Glee with the fake pregnancy?!
Just curious as to how a mother is so careless with her children that her 15 year old got pregnant and has 7 possibilities for the father .and one of the possibilities , is her STEP FATHER . WATCH. YOUR . KIDS.
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
Tell me if I'm wrong here.
My husband's sil has covid. She's obviously quarantining in her house but is still loving on her kids and husband. I'm sorry but if I had it I would lock myself in a room.
She hasn't gotten her kids tested... they're obviously doing the whole remote learning and quarantining for two weeks but she plans to send them back without testing them on the Monday after Thanksgiving 😬😱.
My husband thinks I'm overreacting but I told him I don't want to see them on Christmas....
Have you noticed any of the signs advancing? Increased body hair? Body/armpit odor?
