Hi, just looking for some advice and information here from anyone with premature baby who has had a CP or development diagnosis and at what age?
My dd2 was born at 28 weeks, had a very tough ride through nicu. She is now almost9 months actual, 6 months corrected and after googling which I know I shouldn't have done, I really do think she has CP. i may sound stupid but I know in my heart of hearts, that all is not right, I pray that I get proved wrong, but I have a gut feeling. She is not my first baby, she just seems different.
She has had clonus in her ankles, though his does seem to be less and less, pead has referred her to physio for slightly high tone in her legs. Not overly stiff but occassionally is, She doesn't roll, doesnt sit up unaided, when she sits she arches back. I also have concerns about her hands, she doesn't really grab, if she does it looks really hard and akward for her with h fingers bent rather than flat.
She does smile and giggle, but does not babble yet, she occasionally coos but this is mainly when she first wakes up. I can't explain but I just dont think things are right.
Did anyone have this gut feeling/similar oncerns and if so what did you do? This is driving me mad, Docs seem to be wait and see.......
