My DD is nearly 8 weeks old. Today she had a scan at the hospital in the hip instability clinic becuase she was a breechie (born by C-section). When she was born her hips were checked for clicky hips, but they were both found to be fine. The referral to the hospital was standard procedure in our area.
So, she had the scan today (screamed like blue murder all the way through, seemed thoroughly displeased with her evil mummy!) and then a follow up with a doctor. The doctor said she does not have clicky hips, but the scan showed immature hips and she needs a follow up scan in three weeks.
What on earth is immature hips and what does this mean? Does anybody have any experience?
I would have asked the doctor but DD started screaming again (must have been a flashback to the gel they put on her hips and she was not impressed!) so wondered if anybody could help?
