Emily developed breasts, body odour and acne as a toddler</strong></h6>
<p>When docs from the pediatric Acute Care Unit in Wyong Hospital, Australia tested Emily, they discovered her hormones were as though she was a pregnant woman.<br />
Emily was diagnosed with central precocious puberty and Addison&#8217;s disease, which means her adrenal glands do not produce enough steroid hormones.<br />
Her mum, Tam Dover, is frustrated that she &#8220;hasn&#8217;t had a chance to be a little girl&#8221;.<br />
Emily has been forced to learn how to put &#8220;pantyliners on for menstruating&#8221; at such a young age, while dealing with strong body odour and cystic acne.</p>

<h6><strong><img class="alignnone wp-image-268820" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/screenshot-from-2017-10-09-19-57-31tammy-dover-and-emily-dover-3.png" alt="Screenshot from 2017-10-09 19-57-31Tammy Dover and Emily Dover 3.png" width="820" height="771" />Tam Dover says it was hard explaining to her 4-year-old daughter Emily what is happening to her body. She has not been able to be a little girl and says her &#8216;foo foo is bleeding&#8217;</strong></h6>
<div>At four months old, Emily was the size of a one-year-old, although she was born at a normal and healthy 10lbs.<br />
&#8220;She continued to grow,&#8221; her mum said. &#8220;At four months old were dressing her in clothes for a 12 to 18-month-old baby.&#8221;<br />
But after her first &#8220;normal&#8221; week, Emily struggled to sleep and was under a great amount of pain.<br />
The mum finds it difficult to explain what is happening to her, even though little Emily has now become fully aware that she is different.<br />
Recalling the moment Emily started her period, Tam said: &#8220;Because she has trouble toileting, she thought she had done a poo in her undies.<br />
&#8220;We used pantyliners and it didn&#8217;t last more than a day.&#8221;</div>
<h6><strong><img class="alignnone wp-image-268795" src="https://konniemoments.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/emily-dover-and-her-parents.png" alt="Emily Dover and her parents" width="774" height="741" />At four months Emily, [seen with her parents], was the size of a one-year-old. The Dovers said their daughter&#8217;s body is aging faster than other people with her bone age, nearly 4 years above her chronological age</strong></h6>
<p>Emily was bullied at daycare and now her mum fears she may be the &#8220;different kid&#8221; at her new primary school.<br />
Tam said: &#8220;There are so many aspects of her life, that thankfully, she is too young to be completely aware of that are going to impact her.<br />
&#8220;That impact will be when she starts school next year, and will have to face being the kid that is so different to others.&#8221;<br />
She is due to start hormone replacement therapy, which requires her to receive an injection every three months.<br />
Tam set up a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/emilys-space">GoFundMe page</a> to raise money for the &#8220;astronomical&#8221; costs of her daughter&#8217;s treatments and medical care.</p>
