I’m after a bit of advice/experiences; I realise my DS cannot be diagnosed over the Internet and we do have a paeds apt relating to something else next month so I will broach the subject then but I’m worried sick and just after some advice or experiences of CP. Apologies if this post is akin to the length of a dissertation!
My DS is almost 6 months, born at term - uncomplicated birth, jaundice but not enough to need light therapy. I suffered with extremely high BP throughout pregnancy and I’m also rhesus negative (I know CP can be caused by -/+ but I did have Anti-D in previous pregnancy and during this one).
DS still holds both hands in fists when not playing, although the left hand seems more of a tight fist. He keeps his right arm bent at the elbow, resting his fist on his chest - he does this for the majority of the day. BUT he can and does move it, grabs toys with it, brings hands together, chews on it etc.
He can roll from back to front, but only to the right, he’s been rolling for over two months. He can’t sit unaided as he just leans over to the left or really far forward. He can’t even sit properly in the Bumbo because he leans too much.
When he’s sitting/lying he crosses his legs but he doesn’t do this when picked up.
He has excellent head control, babbles, smiles, laughs etc.
However, his arm, the leaning, crossing of the legs and also frequent vomiting are really worrying me!
He’s had a cranial ultrasound for something else which came back clear.
I don’t really know what I want from this post! Does this sound like it could be CP? Anyone with similar experiences?
