Clubfoot Can be Detected Anywhere Between 16-26 Weeks Gestation

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

We're feeling a little like the wind was let out of our sails. We

were under the misconception that clubfoot was able to be seen and

definitely occurs at 16 weeks - I have no idea why I thought this.

Anyway, we had our 20 week u/s and the feet were straight. Emailed

Dr. Ponseti with this info and he said it wasn't conclusive that

another u/s at 26 would be needed to verify! UGH! We were on cloud

nine when we saw two straight feet. Just thought I'd pass that

tidbit of info along just in case anybody else was thinking what we

were thinking...

Hi Holly-

I had an ultrasound at 20 weeks and again at 38 weeks and the clubfoot still

wasn't picked up. My son was born at 40 weeks with a left clubfoot. I just

think it is hard to tell sometimes with the ultrasound.

Holly,

Try not to let it worry you.. Even though that is so, about the

detection window, from all I have heard, the chances are still very

low that it'll happen again. (something like 3%?)

In the years I've been on these boards, I can only recall only one or

two families who had more than one child with clubfoot, and that was

when one of the parents also had clubfoot themselves.

Try to put your mind at ease!

Congratulations on the halfway point of your pregnancy! Enjoy it..

oh dear, I hope I didn't say anything amiss.. If there are families

with more than one child with clubfoot whom I've not yet gotten to

know (I haven't been able to visit the board as much lately), maybe

they have different info and/or perspective.

Either way, though, Holly, I hope you are feeling OK and wish you

continued good news as things progress. Take care!

Best,

, Claire's mom

Well not to burst any bubbles......haha......there is no club foot in my family

except my two sons. But on the flip side of that, what will be will be so just

enjoy your pregnancy. You know what to do if his little feet come crooked .

It'll be OK either way.

When I was 16 weeks pregnant I had an ultrasound and it was detected

that Isabella had clubbed feet. I was shocked that we could see it

that soon so clearly. It doesn't run in my family at all so it was a

total shock. I never even heard of clubbed feet before. Then we had

an ultrasound at 20 weeks, 34 weeks and it confirmed she had clubbed

feet.

Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement. For the most part,

we aren't overly anxious or worried. We're just a tad bit bummed

hearing that the window is longer than we thought, and were so

elated after our 20 week u/s - we thought we were " in the clear " so

to speak. If we find out this one has clubfoot, we'll be fine with

that, considering other abnormalities can be far worse than

clubfoot. And besides, getting to see Dr. Ponseti a wee bit early

wouldn't be all bad. Ultimately, we're hoping and praying for

straight tootsies - I guess we'll find out soon enough. Again,

thanks you so much for your support and kind words! They mean a lot

to me
