Anyone with multiple children with club foot?

[Guest guest]

Just wondering. I was recently told that I stand a high chance of

having another child (esp. boy) with club foot since it is very common

on both sides of my husbands families. It isn't a deterrant in any

way...I still want more kids, club foot or no.

But anyone else? Was anyone else even told this?

Poneti quotes 1 in 30 will have more, but if this seems high, his question to

you would be " Do you intend to have 30 children? " I do know there are at

least a few parents on these boards with more then one child with cf.

I was born with clubfoot and both of my kids were. Both girls...

I think the statistics are that there is a 25% chance of the child

having clubfoot if one of the parents has clubfoot. I'm quoting

this from memory, though, and it might not be exactly right- I think

it's in the book intro from Dr. P's book (can be found in the files

section) if you have time to look it up and read it. If you have a

child with clubfoot, the odds are 1 in 30 for subsequent

pregnancies, if there is no other family history.

I don't know what the odds are if there is a family history, but

neither parent has clubfoot, however....which appears to be the case

with your family!
