Hello all
Just wondering if anyone had experienced jerking or twitching movements in their newborn. My LO was born 3 weeks ago at 34 weeks and recently has been having episodes where his whole body twitches rhythmically. It happens when LO is sleeping and before it was just the one but today it lasted for about 15 minutes and it didn't stop when I held him. We came to A&E on Friday because of it and kept overnight for observation and discharged the next day because it didn't happen again but are here again for observation and going to have a EEG tomorrow to check brain activity. The drs are saying its either nothing and just his immature nervous system and he'll grow out of it or it will turn into epilepsy. Anyone experienced this with their newborns?
