[quote=Anonymous]Breech baby born by c-section 9 years ago. No ultrasound after 20 weeks, so we didn't know she was breech until the day she was born (no clue if she was frank breech).

Slight click in one hip at birth. Went to GU for x-rays at ~1 week, then again at ~12 weeks. At the 12 week appointment, she was given a harness to wear for 3 months. Seemed devastating at the time, but totally manageable.

Other complications: she had a ridge on her skull from being jammed up under my ribcage (she never descended). That went away on its own. She was evaluated for torticollis (wry neck), which didn't need any intervention beyond tummy time.

If you have a c-section, my advice is to remember that you are a surgical patient and make plans for being immobile at the hospital and have very restricted mobility at home (and no driving!).

DD has no lasting impact from hip dysplasia. She walked a bit on the late side of normal (14 months), but now plays soccer and just finished her first 5K. And loves skiing (black diamonds are her friend) and thinks she is a fish in the pool.[/quote]
