DD1 had CDH, it was caught very early, she wore a Pavlik's for 10 months, she's fine.
DD2 had ultrasound, was clear, is now 3 and seems fine.
DD3 had ultrasound and was given the all clear. She's nearly 7 months; the other day I noticed she had unequal creases and made HV appointment fully expecting to be told I'm a paranoid mother. Wrong. Went today - the creases are very obviously unequal AND her legs are different lengths. Have made a GP appointment for Thursday.
This doesn't sound good, does it? Rationally, I know that CDH is not the end of the world, is completely treatable and the outcome is generally good. However, I'm a wreck. How on earth didn't I notice this earlier? And as it's so much later than DD1 was diagnosed, is the treatment going to need to be more extreme?

Balls. Anybody had a 7 month old with unequal creases and different leg length and it's NOT been dysplasia?
