DD2 is 2 1/2. She was a late walker; 19 months before she could. She does hit her milestones, but later than average iyswim. Now, I have no concerns whatsoever about her cognitive function; she is bright, speaks well for her age and understands me perfectly. But her gross motor skills don't seem very good to me. She is still not very steady on her feet and tunbles over a lot, even when there doesn't really seem to be a reason to do so, ie, smooth path, flat floor.
I suppose deep down I am worried because she had such a scary birth. Something wasn't right all the way through the pregnancy, she became terribly quiet in the last couple of weeks and in labour her pulse went down to below 60 bpm and she was born with the cord three times around her neck and blue as a blue thing. She was very "floppy" as a little baby, and curiously "absent". I can't really explain it better than that. Like she wasn't really "there". Then when she was about a month old it was as if someone switched on the lights, and she was "there". I sound quite barking don't I? Anyway, like I say, I'm not really worried about her cognitively, but she really does not seem very able in terms of gross motor skills. Can anyone advise me/tell me I am being silly? Thanks.
