Just found this board and wondered if there are any other moms out there with kids that have congenital hypotyroidism (CH)? DD was diagnosed and started Synthroid at 6 days old. She is now 8 mos and doing very well, however I still stress when she sleeps more than normal, eats less than normal, poops less than normal, etc. We've also found out we're expecting #3, we've been told that it's not hereditary and the chances of this baby having CH are very slim, but I still worry. KWIM?

Yeah, it does feel better to know your not the only couple dealing with it!

Jesse will be 3 December 7th! It went by soooo fast. I actually don't remember what they told us from the scan...I was actually planning on asking his specialist in January at his next visit. Everything from his diagnoses is a blur.
