New moms of girls - PSA

This came to me in the shower this morning and I figured I'd post it b/c it scared me when it happened.  Your daughter will most likely have vaginal bleeding within the first couple weeks.  It's hormone related and completely normal.  DD's actually looked like red crystals in her diaper.  I called the nurses line freaking out.

I'm so glad I saw this in one of my books - I had no idea! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, I would be freaking out too!!  Thanks for this, I don't know if I am having a girl, but after two boys, I wouldn't have known this.

I had two girls and this never happened.   I think I would have freaked out

A lady from my bmb told me this. Thank goodness too because I would've totally been freaking out!!!

I remember reading that too. I guess I need to warn DH. I am pretty sure that would freak him out.

I remembered when that happened with my daughter. I freaked out. But here happened when she's was like 6 months old. I thought someone had touched her or something at the daycare and rushed her to the ER. hero was defiantly shocked to learn they could do that so young.

Good to know.

DS had blood in his urine a few days after I took him home from the hospital and I called the doctor freaking out.  She said it could have been from breastfeeding if my nipples were bleeding a bit it could have come through in his urine.  So I guess it can sort of happen to boys also.

I think one of the doctors or nurses - somebody at the hospital, told me about this.  Never actually happened though.  Good heads up, OP!

I had this as a baby. Isn't it odd???

monksmama

WTF.

I can't imagine how anyone would think a girl is easier!

That never happened with my first daughter. I didn't know about it either. Thanks for the heads up!

This is one thing I knew. One of my customers grand daughters had it. It actually didn't stop and they had to go to a gyno for the baby.

This for me too.  My pedi warned me about this, but neither of my girls had it.  We will see if girl #3 does or not.

OMG thank you for this info! I had no idea. After having a boy, this will be like a whole new experience!
