4 month old not using arms/hands alot. Fists tightly clenched

Hi all,

My 4 month old little girl has her fists tightly clenched 90% of the time. When she is lying down on mat she keeps her arms very close to her and fists clenched and never reaches for things. When shes in her chair she will the odd time swat at toys hanging over her chair but again her fists are usually closed. I am seeing a community doctor regarding her development next week but am suffering with alot of anxiety around her health as she was very sick in hospital when she was a few weeks old.

Her head strength is ok but she doesnt really hold her head up in tummy time either.

Does anyone have any advice or stories of their kids being delayed on hand use that could help me through to next week with the anxiousness?
