So I’m 13 weeks pregnant and a few weeks ago I woke to a vigorous shoulder twitch that happened every half hour or so for two days . Since then , I’ve felt twitches everywhere . Visited my doctor expecting her to say it was common and not to worry - she didn’t . Said it was highly unusual and when I asked if it was motor neurone to my horror said it could be !!!!
Anyway , she tested my reflexes all fine then concluded she would want to speak to a more senior doc and ring me back .
she did later that day and to my horror she also found it in her words strange . She suggested the doc ring neuro helpline at our local hospital . She done this and neurologist said she was reassured it wasn’t motor neurone as it doesn’t start like that and probably bfs which is apparently common in pregnancy and advised blood tests but not to worry as it’s probably that .
im just left with a bit of uncertainty now … the gps initial reaction has worried me and the fact the senior doctor who has worked there 40 years also was worried … would you be reassured ? Doctor said after bloods I can see neurologist in future if it continues .
