On May 8th I am taking Anna Grace to see an Endocrinologist. At her 9 month appointment, the pediatrician noticed that she is beginning to develop breast tissue. The nurse said its probably Precocious Puberty. I'm very scared because it can be anything ranging from absolutely nothing, to something life threatening. I had to take her for x-rays and bloodwork. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. I had to hold her down on my lap as they took blood from her arms 3 times as she screamed and yelled, "Momma!!!" My heart completely broke. They sent the bloodwork to a lab in California and they are faxing the results to the doctor before the appointment. I have to take a TON of paperwork I filled out and a copy of the x-rays. Hopefully, its nothing. There is a chance that its just extra hormones from when I was pregnant with her that are still trying to filter out of her system. She would be completely normal by the time she is one year old. She could also have to be on hormone therapy for the rest of her life. If she was, the hormones could work wonderfully or they could only work part way. She could take the hormones and be completely normal. She could also take hormones and end up still developing breasts way too early, starting her period when she is 7, and being extremely short and never reaching her growth potential. That worries me because I don't want her to get teased for anything growing up. It is hard enough to grow up as it is, and I don't want it to be any harder for her than it should be. And, in the worst and most RARE case, she could have a brain tumor. The chance of this being a possibility is close to NOTHING, but it still scares me. A lot. Everything scares me. I'm scared because I don't know what is wrong... or if there even is anything wrong. I'm scared that the doctor is going to send her for an MRI and CT scan... and something is wrong in her brain. I'm scared. I'm just so completely scared. Please pray for us. Pray that there is nothing wrong with my little baby girl, and pray for me and Anna to have the strength to get through all of this. Thank you.
Anna Grace, 9 and a half months old. Spaghetti Night.
... Its Precocious Thelarche. Which means she is developing breast
tissue, only breast tissue, but its already stopped. She has extra
Transplacental Estrogen in her system. That means that I was, in fact,
over-due with her. By about a week or two. So there was extra estrogen
that crossed the placenta into her at birth. That extra estrogen
actually caused the breast tissue to develop MUCH earlier, but it has
been missed up til now because of baby fat. Now that she is growing up
and thinning out, its noticeable. It is REAL breast tissue and will
always remain there up until she hits puberty and develops more breast
tissue. However, it isn't enough to make her look like she actually has
boobs yet. I do have to keep my eye out to make sure she doesn't begin
spotting and having a "mini-period". She won't actually START her
period yet, but it may be the last of the hormones escaping out of her
body. Her x-rays showed that her bone age is 12 months, so it is a
little older, but only by two months. In the grand scheme of things,
that isn't much. The doctor said they don't begin to worry until its
greater than 2 years. Anna is 27.75 inches tall and 19.6 pounds... and
all in all, is perfectly healthy. I could have broken down into tears
when he said that she is completely fine. Shes a happy and healthy
baby. Thank you EVERYONE for your thoughts and prayers. And thank GOD
that my baby is wonderfully healthy.
Anna Sleeping, 10 months.
