[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP checking in again. We decided to go ahead and get in touch with CHOP, since if the baby does have some kind of disorder/difference of sex development that requires treatment, that's where we'd take her after she's born (they have an entire practice dedicated to such disorders). Since we're in touch with them now, we are going to go ahead and get a second opinion ultrasound there - it sounds like the equipment they have there is very advanced so if nothing else we should get a clear picture of what's going anatomically and perhaps some idea of what the cause might be, since all the amnio testing came back negative. I figure this way, at least we'll be on the radar of the right specialists if the baby turns out to need additional care after birth.[/quote]

This is good, OP. Your baby is in great hands at CHOP and honestly with you as a parent. You really seem to handling this with grace. I am sure it is a difficult, scary position to be in.

One word on stress hormones- my understanding is that this type of stress really doesn’t impact the baby, it has to be extreme stress like in a war zone or a refugee camp to impact the baby’s development. So don’t let the stress of worrying about stress add to your concerns.[/quote]
