Very upset, worried mum. any adivce?

Question

hi there, i have a 9 month old son and just came back from his 9 month development check. The Health Visitor exmained him and said one of his bum creases his higher then the other and she was a little bit concerned and said it could indicate a problem and he is being referred to our local hospital for tests. has anyone had this problem and any ideas what the problem could be, i am a young first- time Mum and very very upset

Answer 1

it seems like she is concerned about the hips,dont worry too much the hospital can sort out hip problems very well.

Answer 2

Hi,

Don't worry about it, if its anything to worry about they will tell you.  I'm sure it will sort itself out.

Answer 3

The hospital will probably check the hips for allignment, My baby was in breach and they check this after she was born, and they mentioned that the folds her legs were in line, I think its nothing to worry about, he is only 9mths its better to be safe than sorry, you can book an apointment at the docs to find out any more info

Answer 4

Hi hun,

Its sounds it could be something to do with his hip but it is more then likely just a doctor doing the  right thing by ruling everything out.

Hun I am sure it is nothing to worry about but if something does come of it, i'm sure it would be easily fixed.

Go and see your doctor again and ask to to explain all your concerns to put your mind at rest (or to at least know what could lay ahead).

Answer 5

If you didn't ask the health visitor when it was mentioned at the appointment, give her a call and explain how your feeling, she'll be able to tell you what it could be.  But also remember it could just be natural and nothing to worry about, they are just being cautious.

Hope everything goes ok
