hi my health visitor noticed that my sons leg creases were not the same there quite different she sed it could be a sign of dislocation or a hip problem..she sed the doctor will check it but didnt say wether i shud make an appointment or not..and its made me parranoid now like wen i do his nappy im worried ill hurt him if theres something wrong...is there another way of checking his hips, when he was in hospital just born he had the checks done and they were ok but i dont think his leg creases were different then..
 
The docs will check at his 8 week check but if your worried just make an appointment to see you doc hun! Tell them what the HV said and then they can put your mind at ease! :hug:
 
i actually feel physically sick now :( i've never heard anything about this before but i've just found a few pictures online of uneven skin creases and there is one of a baby with hip dysplacia and his is exactly the same as aiden has :(
 
hi i took my son to doctors, they said he needs to have a scan...i hope he doesnt havehip displasia coz the treatment for it doesnt sound good..its got me really paranoid now im so nervous to do his nappy incase it hurts him..my poor little man
