Re: Clubfoot Can be Detected Anywhere Between 16-26 Weeks Gestation

[Guest guest]

Holly,

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and we have had 3 ultrasounds since 16 weeks

gestation. Just to put your mind at ease a little, I wanted to let you

know that our 16 week, 20 week, and 25 week u/s were all good. No

clubfeet the second time around...at least we're pretty sure. We saw

our first daughters cf at a 17 week ultrasound. I still think your odds

are pretty good

Best wishes,

Amy

...Just curious but were the sonographers LOOKING for clubfeet

or were they doing a routine u/s. I know with my first daughter it was

a fluke that they found her cf (they weren't looking). With this baby,

I've told each sonographer about our first daughter's cf and they have

spent extra time observing this babies feet by ultrasound. As a matter

of fact, we had one sonographer that even did a 4D ultrasound of just

the babies feet (they just had gotten this new technology and wanted to

try it out .

Hi Amy-

No...they weren't looking specifically for clubfeet. There had been no

clubfeet history up until this one was born.

I had a visit to the ob/gyn this week for a check up and asked if her

feet could have been noticed on the ultrasound. He said that they

would not have been looking for it, they measure the femur, but don't

really look at the feet, I guess unless our first had clubfeet. I

have a great shot of her feet at the 20 week and both of her feet

look the same to me.

Holly, try not to think about it too much. I know it is a worry, but

6 more weeks will be here before you know it and I am sure it will be

fine!
