Im currenty 24wks with my sencond baby and we got told on the 20wk scan that baby has talipes on his left foot (seems like positional as he is able to straighten it evey now and then)
we were advised about the possible cause of talipes (chromosomal and genetic causes) hence down syndrome and all the rest has been brought in the picture
After reading on talipes i feel that the way doctors handled explaining this, was not very reassuring.
everything i seem to read about positional talipes, seems to suggest that it's nothing to do with the chromosomal and genetic causes but purely is down to lack of space in the womb.Hence any of the mentioned problems such as down is not relevant at all in our case.
Sould they have not made this clear to us rather than focusing on covering their back by talking about down syndrome ?
or is there something im missing???
P S sorry about the spelling mistakes
thanks for any advice
