Does my baby have developmental dysplasia of the hip(s) or DDH? ?

Question

I've already made a dr. appointment for tomorrow morning. I just want to prep myself more. I've been worried about my daughters extra fat rolls on each of her legs in her diaper area. Everyone in my family has never seen it before and we would joke about it. But once i thought about the fact no one i know has ever seen it before, i got concerned. I looked up what it might be, and the only thing i found is DDH. But i'm curious, if possibly maybe my baby could just be chubby... although she isn't over weight. she will be 4 months old tomorrow. Will people who know about this please answer my question and guide me through some things i may need to know? I want to be a little ready for what the doctor might say tomorrow. Thank you.

Answer 1

my daughter has the lil fat rolls on her legs around her diaper, for her its just baby fat and it will thn out as she gets to moving around and stuff. Just think positive, you may have nothing to worry about!

Answer 2

My baby has the same fat rolls and has no hip problems.  I know this because she was born breech and at a risk for hip problems so she has had 3 ultrasounds and one x-ray at the children's hospital and each time I was told she was okay.  I don't think you have anything to worry about, but go to the doctor tomorrow to clear your head.  Good luck! I think you will be fine!
