anyone had this? worried! *UPDATED* :D

[trixipaws]

had our 7-month check yesterday, HV said not 2 worry bout this but cant help it.

she took millie's tights and nappy off, and pulled her legs straight, and checked the creases in the fat on her inner thighs.

one was higher than the other, which CAN indicate hip problems
altho she said its USUALLY nothing.

at docs 2mro, but scared! who's been 2 docs and been told its fine? (or not! )

Hey hun, look on the bright side at least your HV told you not to worry, mine told me to make an apontment ASAP, really worried me

I took Jack to the doctors and he looked at me like i was mad for making the appointment, when i explained what the HV had said he just rolled his eyes and said it was nothing to worry about and that he had seen a few people that week being referred from that HV and he was going to have words as it was normal in all the babies he had seen

Sorry for essay but hope that makes you feel batter that there will be nothing to worry about

Evie had this picked up on a check when she was only a few days old, we ended up being referred for a hip scan when she was about 10 weeks old. Its a bit daunting but TBH I was just glad they were looking out for her. The scan ended up showing nothing was wrong.

I wouldn't worry (easy for me to say!) its quite a crude test anyway and it seems it really is usually nothing

Hope everything goes okay

ah i'm sure it will all be fine- they said not to worry so thats a good sign-
babies never lie straight enough for them to tell properly!
hope it all goes well anyway hun xx

Why do health visitors always HAVE to try and find something wrong?! Got a bee in my bonnet about them lately!
