Folds

Baby had a weigh in yesterday at 16 weeks - she's 62cm long and 6.7kg. This nurse said she was growing beautifully - I'm glad they don't seem to be worried about her growth anymore.

And then.

The nurse pointed out that the fat folds in baby's thighs are not even - one leg has an extra 'v' of fat in it. And this is an actual medical thing.

An imbalance in the thigh fat on a baby can indicate hip displaysia. Luckily, it's not the most accurate indicator, and it's only recent, so I don't think we have much to worry about.

We have an appointment with the doctor on Tuesday to see what she thinks - if they're concerned, baby will get her first ultrasound. The nurse who found the folds said that doctors often think that they are over-reacting, but it's better to catch it sooner rather than later - if she has got some displaysia, she'd be in a brace for a while.

Fingers crossed it's nothing but my predisposition for hypochondria!
