    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.

    Just remember that with epilepsy there are several different forms of seizure, not just a gran mal fit.
    If you are really worried, and it sounds like it is something that is happening regularly, take her to the paed, and they will if anything be able to tell what it is not.

    good luck and I hope Izzy is all good soon

    Say if it was a fit, would she stop crying when picked up or moved into a different position??
