Hi Sarah,

I was born with Club feet back in 1982....

Both of my feet were turned inwards - imagine the ball of your ankle flat on the floor and you legs straight up. BUT... My feet are fine now.

I walked around the 18 month mark, alot earlier than was expected and had plaste on my feet for quite a while. In my younger years I wore some foot braces, nothing like the thoughts of forest gump, just a very simple brace that you couldnt see.

I wore inserts in my shoes when i was in primary school just to keep my feet A1.

I do have scars on my feet on the insides of my legs / feet. But remembering this was all 24 years ago... the technology is much better now.

I have only come across one little boy in my whole life with club feet and the mother was going on about how she thought it was because his foot was caught up in her rib cage but this just isnt the case.

I have a family history with club feet and my doctors say it still isnt really linked. Its just something that comes up with some children.

No-one wants anything like this to come out in an ultrasound but please know that your little bub will be fine and walk when they are ready, its just a bump in the road.

If you want to chat my email is turbo_mirage_girl@hotmail.com - My mum knows alot about it, more so than me but i can completely tell you that its had no major impact on my life of walking / running. I dont have any problems with my feet at all.
