One Chubby Leg Ask a Question Message Board

Keturah is almost 13 weeks and I noticed she has one leg/foot that is chubbier than the other. I noticed the foot a week or 2 ago, but I was looking at her legs today and was really noticing it there too. She already has one foot (the same one that's more chubby than the other) that turns in both at her mid-foot and at her ankle that we are waiting on a boot from the Dr to fix it (that story is on the venting board...) I will ask the Dr about it when we go...

But in the mean-time, is this something I should worry about? Any ideas why her legs/feet are like that? Hopefully this is just me being a worry wart!

How much bigger are we talking?

There's a whole extra roll on her thigh. I come within a centimeter of being able to wrap my fingers around one thigh and within about 2-3 centimeters on the other thigh in the same spot.

I think I'd probably point it out at the doc next time... and watch it to make sure it doesn't get bigger.

Brady had that. He, too, had a whole extra roll on one thigh. I was very concerned about it, but the doctor said it was "no big deal" as long as he's crawling/putting weight on it ok. It's fixed itself completely.
