What Should I Do Baby Related<<< Posted: 03-16-06 15:38pm
Okay ppl of asian/mediterranean decent are
sometimes born with mongolian spots which
resemble bruises, anyways cam has a huge
one on his but going up to his back.
Three times I have been asked by nurses
what it is (i know im caucasian but some
ppl adopt kids) and when I was in emer I
heard the dr mentioning calling child
services, i'm really offended by this and
was wondering if I should take a picture
and have the dr sign it off as a mongolian
spot so I dont get into caca again with
cas. For those of who you dont know
someone has already called cas on me and I
had a full two week investigation done on
me because I was accused of not feeding my
daughter, neglecting my daughter as well
leaving her with someone who isnt
qualified nor capable of watching her(they
accused hubby of being depressed) it was
all bs but even then I cried everyday
hoping they wouldnt take elisa away, ive
been cleared but your file is always
around!! Any ideas guys im kinda freaked
out now being asked once wouldnt have
bothered me but 3 times is alittle too
much!! I was up for a promotion at work
and someone got offended cause they
thought they were better than me they
called cas (this supposedly my
friend/coworker) anywasy I found out she
called cause she had a big mouth!!

Those people are ignorant they dont know
what a mongolian blue spot is. My son has
one too, its on his back and butt. Its
babies from asian and african parents too.
It disappears when they are a kid. I
know a little african girl had a small one
on her forehead, it went when she was 6.
I dont think it should cause problems
though, because its on his back/butt same
as your sons, so its covered up usually.
Only person going to see it is the health
visitor when they weigh him. Doctors and
nurses will be aware of what it is, and
know it isnt a bruise.

Yeah well ud think they would know, the
nurse even went to the point of having the
dr push on it to see if it was a bruise
cause the coloration would fade for sec
(cam was in the hospital for a few days)
anyways got the best news hes coming home
so I dont have to deal with ignorant ppl
anymore finally my lil man is coming home
woohoo!!

Good news, im glad hes okay! Must have
been terrifying. The docs/midwife didnt
say anything about lucas' one, they looked
at it like its normal. It was me who was
like...Oh my god whats that?
