    I think you need to get her checked out straight away.

    Hope all ok

    Hey ladies just an update.

    Dd2 is fine. Doctor said she is fine, the weird gasping is OK and lungs are cleared.

    Thanks ladies.

    Just keep an eye on it. My nephew was doing something similar and despite the paediatrician telling my sister nothing was wrong and maybe he just had a cold, it turned out that he had Laryngomalacia. Not saying this is the case with your little one, but if it continues ask for more answers. My sister was hesitant to keep asking questions at first (cause the doctor obviously knows best) but in the end asked for a referral to another paediatrician who was able to tell her what was actually going on.

    Did you have a C/S?

    This is common with C/S babies as they don't have everything squeezed out as they come through the birth canal. So they tend to be wheezy and chesty. DD did some crazy wheezes when she was about the same age. Scared the crap out of me.

    Thanks Miss Dee.

    Rouge, I didnt have a c-section but got induced at 38wks and 4 days?

    Yup scared the crap out of me too but on close monitoring (which ok i kinda paniced) it came from her nose. Sounds like a goose noise.
