Birth Record from hospital of birth

    ---This is worth it’s wait in gold. If you aren’t familiar with them get a nurse to help read them. You will find out

        *How many previous live births ( think siblings)

        *How much did they weigh? Their length?

        *Time of birth.

        *Length of pregnancy

        *What type of prenatal care?

    Maybe some family medical history ( people share more with doctors than they do with social workers anyday)

        *APGAR scores ( get help from a nurse)

        *Did the child have medical problems at birth?
