I have not experienced this personally, but am in nursing school where we have learned all about the different treatments. It is amazing what they can do for babies born with club feet. It’s a great deal easier to correct than it use to be and children do pretty well very early on with the casting and other treatments. It really just depends on the type of club foot and the degree of severity. From what I understand, once it’s corrected so early on the child grows as he or she would’ve if they had not had club feet. So, there shouldn’t be any life ling complications again depending on type and severity. It is good you are able to be prepared by knowing what to expect. You can be ready and have already made decisions so when the baby comes you can get right on treating it because the earlier you do the better. and then seeing him grabbin gat his feet saying to me "MOMMA FEET HURT" Im tearing up just thinking of it. god bless
After having three ultra sounds and being told that everything, inlcuding the genetic screening results were "great" I returned for a routine 4th ultrasound to check the baby’s growth and anatomy. I could just tell something was different at that visit, the tech took a much longer look and when finished she took us to a different type of waiting room than previously. Sure enough we were given the news that at 25 weeks they picked up on something that was missed before clubbed feet. I am waivering each day between being thankful it wasn’t something much worse and being devastated that it’s anything at all. I’ve read that it’s easily fixable, but I’ve also read about some worse case scenerios. My mind always gravitates towards worrying, so I can’t help but not trust that the Drs could have missed something else. It’s an emotional roller coaster to wait for all of your genetic screening tests to come back the results your hoping for, then to be told is only to have them come back and retract that with. we see something we didn’t see before it’s like it starts all over again. Now we just have to wait until the baby is born to know if it’s mild or severe. I’m hoping for the best, but still in a daze.
