Newborn and dimple on base of spine

[pregooolady]

Had baby 2 weeks ago she had the newborn MOT check at hospital they found clicky hips and a dimple she’s been referred for the hips but I was given no information about her dimple and worried it was all so rushed do you think this looks like a normal spine dimple ? None of my other kids have this or do I or her dad. thanks

My almost 2 year old has one.
Never been an issue, was noted on his birth notes but not explained. At another check the nurse was surprised nothing was said and told me its nothing to worry about but need to take extra care keeping it clean to avoid infections as in the nappy area. His is low enough that if you imagined a builders bum the line has a kink in it if that makes any sense.
I believe they'd only worry if you can't see the end/closure of the hole or there's hair.

Pretty sure that they would refer you if there was any concerns. One of mine had a very deep dimple and had to have an MRI to check the spine was basically sealed at the bottom. If you’re worried, ask your midwife or health visitor if it needs further checks.
