My baby has one too. Neither the hospital or pedi noticed it, which is annoying because my prenatal AFP screen was high. Once I pointed it out they had her get an ultrasound but she was fine. As PP's mentioned there are usually other signs (discolored skin or patches of hair around it) when it's associated with spina bifida.
So as I was changing DS2's diaper today I noticed he has a small dimple right above his butt crack. The hospital pedi didnt mention anything upon examining him and discharging us and our pedi didn't mention anything about it this morning at our appt. But of course dr. Google says although most of the time its nothing, it could also be a possible sign of something serious.
Anyone's kid have this? I'd think the pedi would've mentioned it to us if it were something worth investigating right? Either way, I have to bring DS1 in for his 2 year appt tomorrow so I'll ask about it then as well.
My third son had it. His was nothing. I would still mention it to your doctor.
