Hip Dysplaysia Support Group #2

Crosswig - congratulation that is wonderful news Very, very excited for you. i can't wait for that day for our DD. Must be beautiful giving nice close cuddles and thinking of it, just about everything must be better. We've only been in our brace 10 days but already miss the brace free time so much.

Mummy Naomi - well done that is very inventive. Sounds like a great idea. Our DD is quite big for her age 70 percentile for height and weight so forward facing is OK for her.

Chanzalow - going to the dr. sounds like a great idea see if you can hurry them along a little. I actually rang the RCH orthapeadic dpt myself and spoke to Pru (she is our clinician) this did wonders. I explained my situation to her, the age of my DD and all that had been going on. We had had our ultrasound there the day before and she was able to look at the report on her screen. It was amazing, she got us in the following Monday (I rang on friday) and our journey began from there. I found the orthapeadic dpt number on the RCH website and then explained to the receptionist that I was quite concerned and anxious about how long the wait would be. She then put me through to Pru's message bank and she called me back a couple of hours later.
Anyway see what you think but in the meantime it sounds like you need to stop beating yourself up. What matters is that you are getting your LO help now, not what has happened in the past.
I also second that nappy changing thing, they were quite clear to us at the childrens that we shouldn't put her legs together, especially when nappy changing. During Chloe's hour off she is allowed to do what she likes with her legs but we are not to push them together at all. Hope that helps
