Hip dysplasia

Anyone any experience with it? My lo has just had his 15 week health visitor check and they're wanting an ultrasound dome on his hips as he was resisting the hip checks and the creases are a little off on his legs... what has other people's experience been with ultrasounds and treatment?

The ultrasound is easy on the hips. You take babies trousers off and they lie baby in a little snug and then they scan their hips one at a time after flipping them over.
Both my children have had it done as I have hip dysplasia but they were both fine.

My eldest slept through the entire thing and my youngest had it done a month ago and just babbled away and smiled at the man doing the scan. ☺️ x

Yesss! My LO at 8 week check she had an extra crease in her left thigh. Had a scan and was told she had a shallow hip. She’s had to wear a harness to hold both hips/legs in the same position nearly 24/7 for 4 weeks. She’s now had another scan is all
Is now where it should be and she is being weaned out of the harness over these next 6 weeks. We have 3weeks left 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Her ultra sound was okay. They did one leg she was okay but got fidgety on the second one but obviously they managed to do it x

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲
