Took Lottie in to be checked over as noticed she does a stretchy spasm thing where she stretches her arms above her head and goes rigid for a second or two. Its usually when shes waking up or sleepy. It looks like a big stretch. There is a family history of epilepsy on OH side and Ive heard about infantile spasms and monoclonic (sp) jerks etc so took her for check up this morning.
She has been admitted to hospital and is having tests done tomorrow morning (eeg or ecg etc) so now we are sat in room which is totally pointless as if she does any stretchy jerks there isnt any one to see them! I suggested making an appointment for tests and taking Lottie home and trying to film stretches rather than stay in but they werent having any of it! I think they are being extra cautious due to epilepsy being in the family.
I really hope its me being a paranoid Mummy and shes just got a funny reflex movement... Do very young babies stretch? She doesnt have control over her arms and cant reach for anything yet so I doubt it? Sorry for long post!
