Hi everyone,
you all seem to be so nice and knowledgable - would you mind me joining you? Well, actually I hope I will not have to join, but things don't look too good, and I am so scared and worried that I don't know what to do.
Our little Emily is 4.5 months old (will be 5 on the 27th) and her pediatrician just referred us for an ultrasound of her hips because of uneven skin folds on her thigh. She said that this is not always a sign of hip dysplasia, but better check it up. She could not find any "clicking" in her hips. She was checked at 1 week, and then every month untli now, and nothing worrysome was detected.
Anyone have any experience like ours? How did it work out for you? How worried should I be? How high is the risk that she has a problem? Oh I have so many questions, and now that Christmas is coming up, I will have to wait so long to find out. Our appointment for the ultrasound isn't until January 18! At that time, she will be almost 6 months old, and as far as I have understood from what I have read, that is a critical cut-off time for a harness to work.
I would be so grateful for any experience you might want to share with me.
Kristina
