    Exclamation Tensed, Wriggling and screaming!

    Hey
    I HAVE posted about this before, and with the replies i got, i just kinda left it and didnt worry about it any more. BUT im worried about it again.
    Isabell does this thing on occasions, where she tenses her little body, she wriggles around (while still tensed) and she lets out this growl like scream, kinda like she is in pain/being tortured. It is SO scary. She stops it when i pick her up, and she just starts crying from then on till when ever i can manage to settle her.
    She is NOT straining. Its not a wind thing, its not a reflux thing, its not a colic thing. I dont know what it is, but its none of those things. I really hope some one can shed some light, coz i am REALLY worried. Id almost say its like a pinched nerve or something.
    It doesnt happen a lot, but it happens about 2-3 times a week. Its got nothing to do with motion, coz she has done it when she has been on her change table getting a nappy change, or even in the middle of sleeping.
    I hope all is okay with her, should i maybe take her to the doctor or something??

    Meg - did you take her to a chiro for babies? If its a pinched nerve or something, they may be able to fix it pretty gently.

    If you think there is something wrong then get her checked. Mummy's intuition is a very important thing to listen to IMO.

    Meg, don't have a panic, but is it like she's fitting?

    I agree with Sarah, there's nothing wrong with your intuition - get her checked if you think you should.

    I agree with the ladies above. Write down all the symptoms (so you don't forget any if the GP interrupts you) and take them to your GP. You have a gut instinct for a reason so make use of it. It may turn out to be nothing but better safe than sorry.

    Yeah we did take her to the chiro, and it doesnt seem to happen AS often s it used to, so thats a good sign. She is still going, we tried bringing it up with him at her last visit but she started crying and we kinda forgot about it from the distraction.
    I dont think she is fitting, i have seen a baby fitting before (my sister, she has epilepsy and had all kinds of fits when she was a bub)
    Id say its either a pinched nerve or a cramp or something similar to kind amake her freeze up like she does.
    Ill take her to doc during the week get it checked out.
