Hey Bertie, I am sorry to hear about your news, It will take some time adjusting, however in the long run it will be for the best. I think I had more trouble adjusting than my dd! I did cry andcry and each visit to the specialist I cried. Its natural to have these emotions. Sorry I am being brief but got 2 girls mucking about!

Hisista; my story is Olivia my first born was diagnosed with ddh at 3 days old. She was in a Pavlik Harness until 8 months old, crawled by 9 months and was up and running at 12 months. She got the all clear at 19 months. It was the longest time of my life, but we got through it. Rebecca my second girls was born about 3 weeks after Olivias final review. The specialist suggested she get reviewed when she was born as it is more common that a female sibling will have hip dysplasia as well. So we had her assessed at hospital. She ended up having a mild form, requiring no treatment and we recently got the all clear.

I hope that helps....got to feed the troops, I wish you all the luck
