Possible hip problem identified at 8 month check
Hi, hoping someone can offer some reassurance. Hugo had his 8 month check up yesterday and the HV checked the folds on the backs of his legs to check they were in the same place. The fold above his knee on his left leg is about half an inch higher than the fold on his right leg. This is an indicator of potential hip problems. So naturally I decided it would be a good idea to google it to get more information and have found that if there is a problem with his hips, he could be in a cast for up to 6 months??!!
I have made an appointment with my GP who has to properly check it out but just hoping someone could post and say that this happened to them and on further investigation there were no hip problems with their LO??
Pretty please??!!

At my lo 9 month check up the h.v noticed he had uneven leg creases and told me i must see g.p to arrange hip scan but he had already had one at birth due to been breech but she insisted i still go to g.p.Went to g.p who just checked his result on computer which was fine as i already knew anyway just to say uneven leg creases does always mean a problem he is now 29 months and is fine.fran x
good luck with the check up, let us know how you get on.
