Hi ladies,

Hailey's mum - I have no advice for you I am afraid, but just wanted to wish you and DD good luck! it sounds like it will be quite an ordeal for you both. I live in rural NSW, so I understand about the distance thing. all the best.

Well, No2 arrived - another girl. But good news is that on exam hips seemed OK. just got to wait it out for the u/s. My ob was happy to refer us for an early u/s, but ortho said it wouldn't be worth doing until 12 weeks (see my previous post), so a bit nervous about the wait.

It is interesting that there doesn't seem to be a standard practice - either regarding diagnosis, treatment or follow-up, just what the treating ortho recommends????
