Abigail - DS has been out of his brace for almost two years and we go back for our 2nd yearly checkup in May. From what our surgeon explained its common to have yearly xrays for a few years after as there is still so much bone growth and development in toddlers, I'm expecting that we'll have another follow up xray next year as well. When we go in May I want to talk to the surgeon about the risks for our baby girl due in July.

Milly5 - We are having a DD this time, and as the risk is so much higher in girls we will be getting a referral from our paed at birth for a u/s for her at the earliest possibility (I'll quiz our surgeon as above) - eg 2 weeks, if we have to wait longer in the public system I will just go private and pay whatever as if she is diagnosed I want to get on it straight away. DS did not go into his brace until 7 months and I don't want this to happen again if we are unlucky again this time.
