Baby and scans Layla has to have a scan on her hips. What does it involve is it a scan or X-ray?

???? same as above! They put my daughter on her side in a wedge and the use an ultrasound to see the joints etc then turn her over and do the other side!

When they checked my sons hips they used a X-ray machine x

Mia had to have an X-ray too but it was because of an extra roll of fat on her left thigh they said it could be an indication of something being wrong with her hips xo

Okay thanks girls! Xx

It depends on her age and what they are looking for. My daughter has hip problems as she was breech, she normally gets scans but the last one she did have an x-ray, not sure if its because they needed it to be a bit more in-depth that time x

Following as my lg is having her scan next Wednesday and I'm crapping myself that something is gonna come back

Samantha she is 16 weeks Friday and it's for a clicky hip xx

Char Layla's is next Tuesday! I'm nervous too xx

I hope everything goes all okay keep us updated my lo is having scan done to see if she has hip dysplasia ? runs on my partners side of the family xx

Yeah I will! They didn't say much to me apart from clicky hips but my brother has perthes disease so they want to double check it's not that, she's still really young for that though so not worrying xx

They'll probably just do the scan for that, my girl had clicky hips too and she always gets a scan apart from the last time (she has hip dysplasia). Good luck! X

Okay thankyou! Makes me feel less nervous?xx

Quick update

Everything was normal, just said because she's a small baby and petite I will hear the clicks more as there isn't a lot of fat! Pleased everything is okay?
