Oooooh I forgot about this post oopsie! The ultrasound went great, they could only see the clubfoot but it seems Noah is fond of the position of his right foot and decided to match the 2 so now he has positional clubfoot with the left one. It is all easily fixed though and I decided not to stress. I opted not to do the amnio, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I miscarried and there was no other problems. The doc agreed with me and said the risk of miscarriage was greater than the risk of Noah having other defects but she could not guarrantee that. I have been spending the better part of the afternoon trying to find out the contact details of the talipies support group in Melbourne to no avil, their website hasn't been updated since October, I am awaiting approval of the club foot yahoo group in Oz to see if they have the info, it looks like the group is not so active anymore.
srv, isn't it great to be reassured that there is only a "minor" problem that can be corrected with surgery? I hope all works out with your bub, did they see that on the 2d ultrasound? I know very little about clefts even though I have seen plenty. I didn't know about clubfoot and trisomy 18 until 2 and 3 weeks ago though either.
If anyone has any idea how to get in contact with the melbourne talipes group that would be great, in the meantime I will keep on trying....
