Funny you should say that........ when my eldest was born, his foot turned inwards. All the staff at the hospital made such a fuss about it, and eventually got even GINGER panicking about it, but not once did I panic. I don't know why but I didn't. He was a perfectly healthly 8lb 8oz baby that was born to me a very slender 8 stone women. No-wonder the little mite didn't have enough room. The doctors and nurses made such a big issue, any normal woman would have been scared senseless. But I have grown up to know that perfect is only in the eye of the beholder........what's perfect?? NOTHING. After 2 weeks of my beautiful baby being at home, midwife came round and said " oh look his foot is absolutly normal" just thankgod I did'nt let them SO CALLED proffessionals turn my first few VITAL days with my baby into a nightmare
