What is this??

FTM here. My daughter has been doing this jerking movement a lot with her head lately…should I be concerned? I can’t tell if it’s just a quirky thing or if it’s more serious like an infantile spasm or neurological thing. Maybe it’s just my mom anxiety. Any ideas?

33 weeks

Experienced mamas, how are you/did you move around at the end? I’m having a TERRIBLE time just getting in and out of bed. Rn I can only sit up for about a hour at a time then I have to lay down. Going to the store has just about stopped all together. 🥲

But i've also been really stressed, because my grandma was in the hospital last week and she passed away yesterday. So i'm thinking it could be stress related, but it's stressing me more o...
