I am a 25yr old mom of a little girl who will be 2 on June 7th. I have gone through som troubling times and my daughter currently resides with a foster family. She will be coming home pretty quickly and I see her 4 times a week. Her foster parents seem to be great people, have as n amazing place and seem to be treating my daughter very well, because despite the fact she never wants to leave me when I do drop her off there she's pretty good. About a week ago I got a call from the foster mom saying my daughter had to go to the doctor because she wasn feeling well and she has an ear infection. I know antibiotics can give diaper rashes as well as yeast infections which is why they say to eat yogurt. I.saw my daughter the next day and out of the blue she reached down towards her vagina saying owe. I changed her diaper so i could take a peak and didnt notice anything out of the norm. I told the foster parents and they said they'd keep an eye out. It has continued to happen every once in a while, atleast once every time i have her. I keep saying it to the foster mom, she says they've never heard her do that, mind you they have 4 other kids of there own so she doesnt get there undivided attention like with me, and they said daycare has never heard it either, which there's plenty of kids there to so of course its possib its happening but when it happens to happen no one hears. This past Monday I decided to take a better look and spread lips if her vagina. It looked fine on the outside but right at the rim of the whole and as far as i could see it looked pretty and about 2cm in was a thing the circumfrance of her whole, maybe her hymen? I've never looked at a childs vagina like that. When i had her again Wednesday i checked again and that thing was gone, and her whole seemed a little bigger l, but i do know vaginad can stretch. I also forgot to mention before this when i would change her I'd see a little bit of white stuff inbetween her lips. So Im thinking this whole time that she has a yeast infection, but then once I got those 2 separate good looks, im worrying the worst, that someone has touched her. She is my first daughter, so I've never been through this, does this sound norm as l? Or when i get her tomorrow should i take her to get checked because her foster mom isn't?
I am thinking she is fine. If you have concerns, ask her foster care mom if you can go to the nest doctor visit with her.
sounds like a yeast infection. Can you take her to the doctor yourself? And bring up your concerns? Or go with the foster mom?
Good for you for straightening yourself out. Get your baby back home with you!
I always say go with your gut Mommy instincts. If I suspected anyone had touched my child inappropriately, I would not hesitate to take her to the doctor.
I would not ask to go along on the next visit with foster Mother since you suspect someone there may be abusing your child. If you feel in your gut something may be wrong then by all means take her to the doctor during your next visit with her. If nothing else, you gain peace of mind.
Peace and Blessings,

I'd talk with your case worker about your concerns and ask that your daughter be taken to a physician. You'll feel better knowing she's ok and the case worker would need to know this information also.
Call your social worker and ask that your daughter be checked out either with YOU or the case worker present.
I would not let it go, but remember that the social worker needs to be in the loop!
I would call the social worker and get her to the doc to be checked out. You want to have peace of mind.
My Cousins daughters vagina closed up, they had to put a special cream on and a few days later they were then able to get it back open.. I tell you this because different things can happen.
Good Luck
My dd just suffered 2 rounds of a yeast infection. She had a sinus infection twice in a role was was on a 2 different antibotics with last one being a stronger dose. It could be a yeast infection. Like Mymission said ask the Foster Mom if you can go to the Dr with her on her next visit. Good luck to you and your daughter!!
Hi A.,
Did you have her checked out? I would do it to make sure she is o.k. I would also educate her at a young age to not let anyone touch her down there and if someone does to let you know. Some children want to experiment and you want to protect her from that.
Hope all is well.
Happy moms day to you.
