Sadly that chart actually put LittleRitz in a lower percentile than his doctor did. He is on the low end for both height and weight. My Ped attributes it to pregnancy complications that I had. My OB suddenly packed up his office and moved out of state and apparently didn't think that it was necessary to notify me that I was developing a life-threatening condition, he thought that my new doctor would see the note in my records. Unfortunately, the records were misplaced for several weeks and by then it was so bad that I had to have an emergency c-section and LittleRitz was born way too early. Still he has made amazing strides considering his birth weight. We've been through the whole thyroid-testing process and are considering some other options.

It is getting really hard to find an OB in my area. Is anyone else having similar problems? Next time around, I am going to make it clear that I want to be told about any potential problems - can process information, will not freak out, etc. A lot of these doctors are way too condescending.
