Raising Casey

Of course you want a baby girl or baby boy but definitely not an intersex baby, right? Intersex are people whose gender are difficult to determine. They were born with reproductive organs that are different from those of a boy and girl thus making it difficulty to say whether it is a boy or a girl. This condition is called typical genitalia, a congenital birth defect of the sex organs making it difficult to identify whether a child is a girl or a boy. It is characterized by the baby having both testicles and vulva. It is also characterized by a baby girl having a large clitoris like a penis and a baby boy having testicles that have not properly descended. Causes of atypical genitalia:   - hormonal imbalance   - variations in genetics   - fetal tissues that have not properly formed into normal genitals   Treatment of atypical genitalia - surgery is done to either add or remove the reproductive organ that is suited or not suited to the child'...

Gestational diabetes is a condition which occurs among pregnant women who experience high blood sugar level in their pregnancy even if they never had previous diabetes history. This disorder is dangerous to both mother and baby as the baby could develop congenital defects and chemical imbalance after birth which would make it necessary for the baby to be placed in a neonatal intensive care unit. Gestational diabetes mellitus happens when the body's insulin is low as the insulin receptors cannot function well because of the presence of human placental lactogen that interferes with the susceptible receptors. Gestational diabetes hardly shows any symptoms making the expectant mom unaware that her condition needs urgent and immediate treatment. When this happens, she could experience pre-eclampsia during pregnancy and more likely give birth by Ceasarian section. She is likely to develop Type 2 diabetes after giving birth. The child, on the other hand, cou...

Casey had roseola on February 22, 2013, exactly 10 days after her first birthday. We noticed the appearance of red rashes on her abdomen and stomach area. ( First time moms will naturally be scared of this development in their baby). Then we noticed that the rashes were spreading to her arms, face and legs. Since I already experienced taking care of  a baby with roseola (Casey's mom), I was no longer scared about Casey having it. When I saw the rashes on Casey's abdominal area, I immediately told my daughter it was roseola which was later confirmed by my doctor brother that it was indeed roseola infantum based on the symptoms and type of rashes. What is Roseola Infantum? Roseola infantum or simply roseola is a kind of measles that occur in babies who are younger than 2 years old and is caused by the Roseolovirus. Roseola is characterized by high fever which could cause convulsions due to the sudden rush of high temperature in certain babies. After a few days, the feve...
