Cardiff couple open up on difficult pregnancy after their daughter is diagnosed with a limb condition

A couple from Cardiff have spoken about their shock after their unborn child was diagnosed with a limb condition. Adam and Bethan Williams are expecting their third child this July but at their 20 week scan, the doctor noticed an abnormality with their unborn daughter's foot.

The couple's latest scan showed that their daughter has a limb condition called talipes, also known as club foot. Talipes is a condition in which a child is born with a foot or feet that are turned under and affects 1 in 1,000 babies born in the UK.

It is most common in boys and is often hereditary. However, Adam and Bethan, from Ely, are expecting another baby girl and there is no history of club foot in either of their families.
