Hi Claire



An extra crease can be a sign of a hip problem. A similar thing
happened to us- daughter breech and CDH not diagnosed at 8 week
check - not found until 5 months. I think it's positive that the HV
picked up on it and she's being checked out - would be worse if it
hadn't been found until she was walking. Good luck - I hope it
turns out be a false alarm.



Best wishes

Hazel
