I went today for my anatomy ultrasound and I need to go back in a week because of the position of the baby. They say one foot looks suspicious of club foot but can't get a good view. I know the doctor said this isn't a serious condition , but I still feel upset and worry about my boy. Anyone been through this?

My daughter was born with clubfoot as a result of positioning in the womb. Hers was a different type though than the turning inward. Hers turned outward. Hers was really bad on one foot and just mild on her other foot. I was not aware of hers until birth. Nothing was seen on ultrasound so it was a surprise at her birth. This is what she had... Calcaneovalgus: The baby’s foot bends sharply at the ankle so that the foot points upward and outward. In many cases, the top of the foot can touch the shinbone. Calcaneovalgus usually goes away without treatment in the first few months of life, and there are no lasting effects. She had a lot of physical therapy and I spent a ton of time massaging it like the PT showed me. Eventually it went to normal but it did take about 9 months or so.

when I was pregnant with my first they told me he had a club foot. They didnt do anything til after they took care of everything else as he had other problems. So later when they went to fix it they casted him but it didnt work so they did another xray and found he didnt have a club foot but something called tibial hememilia. We ended up amputating his foot and now he is walking and doing great with his prosthetic. Club foot is actually pretty easy to treat from what the doctors told me. They cast them and then sometimes they need to do surgery for the tendon in the ankle other than that physical therapy and he should be good to go. Congrats and dont worry it will all turn out all right.
