David Bainbridge, "Making Babies: the science of pregnancy" says this: "During the nine months of here own gestation, she may have secreted more estrogen than she will produce during the whole of the rest of her life. The sudden cessation of hormone secretion at birth...female babies can lactate or even menstruate in response to sudden hormone withdrawal.." p 235 ____________________________ Bill Goss College of the Rockies Box 8500, Cranbrook, BC 1-877-489-2687, ext.324 (toll free)
-----Original Message----- From: Rob Weisskirch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 11:35 AM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences Subject: Hormones & female infants TIPSters, Another question from students: A student claims that because of the added hormones during pregnancy that female infants sometimes have residual hormone levels and have like a mini-period shortly after birth. Is this really a "mini-period?" or is it fluid that is trapped in the vagina that comes out in a few days post birth? Thanks in advance!
