club feet (confirm)

Well I had a 18 week ultrasound a couple months ago, and they told me my baby might have club feet me and my S/O were heartbroken but didn't change the way we felt for our little boy, well they told us to go in when I was 22 weeks to double check that was last week, we'll the Dr confirmed it, our baby boy will be born with bilateral club feet witch means both will be clubbes, I'm jus sooo happy its fixable with a series of casts starting from 10 days old and special shoes till he's about 3,.. but he WILL live a normal life after that!! Like I said it does not change our feelings for him... I can't ait till he's born so I can kiss his little feet

Not sure where you live, but I can help refer you to someone who specializes in it, or help point in right direction. I'm actually a podiatrist. I do not do pediatrics, but trained under someone who literally wrote books on it. He's out of Illinois. Other great places are Shriners.

But it is fixable and with casting can help it without having to do surgery! It may seem scary, but he will be fine :-)

One of my girlfriends recently had a boy with the same issue. Casts and braces to correct and it doesn't seem to bother him at all, plus he is so young he won't even remember it later on. It sounds way worse than it is I think. Best of luck!
