I'm hoping someone might be able to help me. My DD (who was a breech baby) had a routine ultrascan at 7 weeks which identified DDH in her left hip. She's been referred to a different hospital and I expected - based on my own research on internet about how to treat DDH - that she would be treated quickly but I've been told that they won't see her until she's 12 weeks at which point they'll give her another ultrasound before she has any kind of treatment.
I wondered if anyone else has experience of this - is this the normal procedure for treating DDH? Or have you had children treated more quickly than this?
I'm concerned that by leaving it, it could be getting worse whereas right now she is less developed and presumably it would be easier to fix whilst her bones are less fixed.
Thank you!
