Ultrasound on hips

Anyones newborns had an ultrasound on their hips? My baby has clicky hips when born my midwife wasn’t concerned and said it was probably just from my hormones but had to refer us for an ultrasound anyway. Just wondering what to expect as its on Tuesday. TIA

Mine did at 5 weeks old because of family history of bad hips. It was super quick. They wedge baby into a nest type thing side ways and scan then flip to do other side and done. My baby slept right through x

Yeah my little boy had this at around 6 weeks old, he was totally unbothered by it. I laid him down, took his clothes off his bottom half and undid his nappy either side. She then turned him onto his side and propped a wedge under him and scanned and then did the same the other side x

Yeah was fine they just did a quick check. Literally took two mins. The lady said they arent even worried about clicks, only clunks, its probably just precaution

My daughter had one (apparently all girls over a certain weight at birth has to have one). It was fine and only took a couple of minutes. The doctor just lay my baby on a table on a wedge type thing, not tied down or anything. then just basically turn the lights off (they had a little light show going to distract her which I thought was cute) then take a photo and that's it. Definitely nothing to worry about x

Thank you everyone!x

As above we had one at 5 weeks because I have hip problems myself, no wedge for ours just laid him on the bed we have our ultrasounds on- undid one side of the nappy at a time- he slept through the whole thing completely unaware of what was happening 😂
