SHe also has syndactly toes (not exactly a birth "mark" but its a good distinguishing characteristic!) & a 5" scar across the right side of her abdomen from surgery 2yrs ago. DD #3 doesnt have any that I have noticed yet.

What are syndactly toes? I googled it and came back with nada.

DS has a birthmark on the base of his spine that looks a bit like a butterfly - perfectly symmetrical. Just FYI in case other babies have this - I asked the pediatrician about it, and she said it was a concern for spina bifida occulta. He also has a teeny dimple right inside the top of his bum cheeks, which is another indicator of it. We did ultrasounds & x-rays and fortunately he doesn't have it - just has all the indicators of it. But before then I had just thought it was a cute birthmark!

Syndactly is basically webbed or conjoined digits (fingers or toes). My dds are her 2nd & 3rd toes on both feet. DDs are totally fused Just about the whole way up her toes so she has toe tips & I didnt even notice they were joined until she was 5 days old! I'll see if she'll let me take a picture for ya.

My son doesn't have any and my DD has a storkbite on the back of her neck rigth near her hairline (I had one in the exact same spot too!)

My oldest ds has stork bites in his part and the base of his neck/hairline.

My dd has none left now. She did have a few stork bites.

My youngest ds...ready? He was born w/7 birthmarks! WHEW! No switching that baby on us! ROFL He has: upper forehead left, Upper chest right, lower abdomen left, down right leg from back of buttox to toes (this one is the most prominent of these right/left birthmarks). These specific birthmarks caused quite a stir at birth. The drs and nurses thought we had a harlequin baby. Something about the heart and pumping blood evenly, I think. I never researched it b/c it turned out they were birthmarks. I have since seen a show on Discovery Health about being your own twin. One baby born in TX had the exact markings as my ds??? Anyways onto his other birthmarks. He has a port wine on his lower lip in the center. When he was born, it was under his lip. Since he is almost 9yo it is now incoroporated into his lip! WHEW! I was always asked if he bumped/burned himself! Then he has a red dimple (about the size of a pencil eraser) on one of his butt cheeks. He also had a stork bite on his eyelid. Poor kid!

DD has stork bites on the back of her neck and on her forhead. The one on her forehead is in a shape of a V- so it kinda looks like the stork was holding her-LOL!

Both of my boys have stork bites all over their scalps, the back of their necks and my youngest has one on his left eyelid. He also has a pinky-tip size strawberry mark on the inside of his left thigh.

Ds has a capilliary hemangioma on his back. He also has a small one on his leg that just started growing, This is what thr one on his back looks like:


These grow to a certain point & then eventually disappear - usually by age 7.

Dd doesn'y have any.

My first child has one of those light brown spots on his neck, my 2nd child has the red "stawberry" like mark in the back of her neck and she has a freckle in the palm of her hand, just like me.. Our third also has the strawberry mark very lightly on the back of her neck.
