Any idea what happened with my DD?

Can see my post here

The first post doesn't explain much but if you go down it tells you a bit more.

Bit worried about my DD now . If anybody has any ideas as to what is wrong I would be grateful.

Poor dd, sounds like possibly a tummy bug...keep an eye on her temperature, and try and get her to drink water when awake. It does sound very normal for a 13 month old to resist being cuddled etc if she's feeling sick - I know I would, with that all-over icky feeling.

Hope she's better soon, do see GP or phone NHS direct if you're worried, her temp goes flying up, etc!

It was like she wanted to be cuddled - as it she screamed more if I put her down, but was still hitting and kicking when held and when I am 7 months pregnant it is really hard!

Hmmm, could be an infection. Are her wees ok? No pain when passing water? Was she arching and stiff? That could be a sign of tummy ache.

She may not feel hot but still have a temp. I would phone the doctors and get her checked out.

She was weeing loads yesterday, enough to make me think we are going to have to start changing her in the night again - she has leaked wee in the morning for the last 2 days.

Can't tell you about her wee today as she has poo'ed everytime I have changed her. She is still asleep ouside - although she woke up when I last checked on her but went back to sleep straight away.

She was arching - although she was pretty much throwing herself everywhere to be honest - all I could do is stop her from hurting herself!

DD2 gets like this when she is teething. She is 16 months and was like this off and on for about 2 weeks until 2 molars appeared. Colnstantly thirsty and feeding, pooing, furious and screeching/arching/hitting/not wantign cuddles and then conking out for 2-3 hours.
Once they came through she was fine....until the next lot started.

Get her checked if you are at all worried but it may be something simple to explain.

Yes I thought about teething too. She doesn't have any back teeth, but she does react quite badly to teething.

When her first from tooth came through we were in A&E with a temp of 104! couldn't believe it was only teething!

She is awake now and has got some diluted fruit juice to try and get her to drink and an apple which she is munching on.

Got to go and do school run now though!

I worked out it was teethign when I left some grapes on the cold shelf in fridge by mikstake (is at 0C) and gave them to the DD's. DD1 wouldn't eat them as they were 'freeziling' but DD2 just shoved a load in her mouth and sat there grinning happily!

DD1 teeths painlessly so I fully sympathise, especially when the docs give you face and say 'it's just teething'

How's she doing now?
