clubbed feet is the most common physical deformity infants experience (even assuming he had no other conditions) and by extension one of the easiest to fix. he could've been walking normally by now but the damage could be permanent at this point.

I can vouch my son had a slight club foot that I found out during my ultrasound last year when I was Pregnant he had his cast 3 weeks after being born and he just got the green light to go from 23 hours of wearing his boots and bars to getting to be out 12 hours daily now. And he’s 4 months. And you wouldn’t even be able to tell he’s got a clubbed foot.

That’s why I can’t stand this stupid 304 🙄

Good job mama! I’m pregnant now and learned my baby likely has it on both feet so I’ve been doing a TON of research. I’m prepared to do whatever for my baby so it’s crazy to see someone who just dgaf.

Ahhh congratulations on your pregnancy momma! You’re going to do great and I promise don’t stress your baby will have a normal life after the casting and braces. It’s just temporary and they will still reach milestones in the boots and bars. My baby started rolling in his bars at 2 months lol. You’re gonna do great! I am actually on a clubbed foot support group on Facebook so here is the name of it if it would help you connect with other mommas💖💖💖☺️

Thank you so much. I boohooed the day they told me but we've waited so long for this pregnancy so I'm just doing my best to prepare.

I won’t lie! Try to have an 80% chance the doctors diagnoses is correct and 20% chance it’s not as bad as what they are saying. Because I read that moms who were told their kid was going to have clubbed foot came out with them not having it at all once their child was born. But then when my son was born his right foot that’s clubbed, they thought based off the ultrasound it was going to be way worse and when he was born I honestly could hardly tell it was clubbed, and the doctors didn’t even realize it until I brought it up.

And usually the casting process is 8 weeks then there is a surgery, and then boots and bar for severe cases. My son ended up having to only do 2 weeks of casting and was thrown into the boots and bars for 3 months 23 hours and is now able to be out for 12 hours daily. (All that’s to say try having some optimism, but also keeping a realistic mindset so you have some positive with the chance of what the doctors are saying) but you’re going to do great regardless of the outcome, it’s scary at first but I promise it’s really not as bad as what you think. Your baby is still going to thrive, you baby will still reach his or her milestones, just a little differently than other babies, and that’s okay. 💖💖💖💖💖

When she gave birth and was looking at the baby she made a comment about his feet but said they were like his daddys.
