I heard that clubfeet are because the baby didn't have enough room in your uterus when you're pregnant. I'm not very big, so I'm afraid that this may be possible for my children. Is it true?

While it's true that some infants are born with a clubfoot because of their positioning in the uterus, this is the mildest version and not very common. It's also the easiest to treat. It's not that the uterus isn't big enough, it's caused by how the baby is positioned.
