Clicky hips

Oh Congratulations

Yep Spencer had one of these as they are standard for breach babies, he was about 8 weeks when we went (was told it would be six but that's the public system for you). It was totally harmless, the guy just undid one side of his nappy and then scanned, then swapped sides. He did cry at one point when the scanner had to hold him very still, he warned me that they normally cry and that they aren't being hurt they just don't like being restricted like that. He stopped crying as soon as they guy let go. Probably made it sound far worse than it actually was, really it was nothing and took maybe 10-15 mins from start to finish and only about 30 secs of him crying cos he was being held firmly.

We had brennans hips checked as his dad had to be in a brace etc when he was a bub. as above just a really quick ultrasound. just gotta hold them still. We got the all clear so cant help you past this point

Good luck!

jack was a breech baby and had to have an xray at 1wk old..as result, was in harness for 10wks because 1 hip was dislocated...............so charli had to have the ultrasound at 2wks old as well to check her hips, all was fine

as marissa said, they cry a little bit because of being restricted for movement, but it's all over so quickly and there's no pain for them at all.......you have to hold them in a straight position on the table while the thingee is on them, but that's all, it's over really quickly

honestly hun, don't stress, it's over so quickly you'll wonder what the fuss was about......

congrats on kaela's birth, i hope her hips are all fine and dandy
