Hello All!
I came across this forum searching for pregnant mothers with past hip dysplasia and wanted to offer some comfort to each of you struggeling with this issue with your children. I am 29 years old and was diagnosed with hip dysplasia in both hips at age 2. I had several surgeries from age 2 - 11. I am fortunate that to date I've never needed a replacement and although I do have scars on both sides I have no difficulties now =) as a child I was able to play sports run, jump and even dare to ice skate (I was terrible at it but that's just because I'm clumsy haha!) I've had a wonderful life thus far and thank God that my previous disabilities made me the strong woman I am today.... and I am a mother of a fantastic 5 year old who was born perfectly. Be strong, pray and always tell your children as my parents did even when I was in a full body cast that they can do anything any other children can! It will all work out! I'm living proof =) may God bless each and every one of your families!
