Could this be an early sign of CP?

My twins were born at 30 weeks and there seemed to be quite a bit of concern shown for my daughter at first as she was twin 2 and born by emergency c-section due to drop in heart rate. They both spent 7 weeks in scbu. They are now 17 weeks old and at our consultant appointment this week he seemed concerned by my sons stiff arms and legs. They arent completely rigid - I'm now watching him waving arms and legs whilst under the play gym, but feel stiffer than his sisters. He also seems quieter. Having said that he seemed to start smiling about 3 weeksago though not often and has twice rolled from front to back. I'd really appreciate any advice as I'm worrying myself crazy at the moment - thanks

Thanks will try not to get too stressed. Consultant is going to arrange physio and told me to tell HV to keep an eye on him.

do you see anyone at the hospital?
with dd we were seen every few months and she was dx at 10 months.
don't panic though, even if it is CP, it may be very mild.
