Another stupid question - crawling

[Guest guest]

Okay, I have yet another stupid question to add to my ever so long

list! You must really despair of me when I get into one of

my " curious " moods like this, hee-hee!

Anyway, what I'm wondering about is whether anyone else here or their

kids have had issues with crawling as a baby at all. I was talking

with my parents the other night and somehow the conversation got to

when I was a baby. Rather interesting they both said that I could not

crawl properly and never actually did. To get around I would either

scramble backwards or sit upright with my legs splayed out at the

hips then bent in at the knee (kind of like the lotus position) and

do a sort of frog bounce across the carpet!! Gosh, I must have given

my parents and guest hours of free entertainment with that particular

party trick!

So I got to thinking, could my strange crawling and hopping have been

to do with my EDS at all? I was wondering if my inability to crawl

properly was from my joints and muscles being weak or painful? I am

also wondering whether the fact I was born with shallow hip sockets

and dislocating hips contributed to my comfort and ease in the lotus

position and frog hop movement? I had never really considered it

until now, but perhaps the EDS/Marfan and my various skeletal

deformities were already playing a part in my development.

It's just another strange curiosity of mine but I thought it was

worth asking to see if anyone else here had a strange crawling or

childhood movement issue. Thank for listening and allowing me to have

my stupid question moment again!

Love and hugs....Jo
