Clubbed feet & high side of normal brain fluid

Hi,

 I went for my 20 week anatomy scan today.  It appeared that both feet were clubbed and one ventricle of the brain had the high side of normal amount of fluid.  We went ahead and had an amnio.  Anyone else had any experience with this?  TIA

    I'm wishing you the best and hoping your LO is healthy.

    My BIL was born with clubbed feet.  He is OK now.

    No experience with either.  T&P w/ you and LO.  You may find parents going through treatment for this if you post on the Special Needs board.

    I didn't have an amnio but pretty much all of my friends have and it was not that bad for them at all.

    I will be sending you and your little one T&P.

    Just wanted to add, my DH was born with both clubbed feet.  He wore casts the first 6 months of his life, but now his feet are perfectly straight and he was an All-American basketball player in college and still runs triathlons (just completed a 1/2 ironman this summer).  He has no issues with his feet or his arches.  Hope everything turns out ok with the amnio. 
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

    Thanks for the support everyone.  The dr. called with the preliminary amnio results and everything looks good.  We're very excited.
