My 8 week old hates his hands being touched and fusses when being held. Is this normal?

Is this normal? My 8 week old baby seems to really not like being held in the usual baby cradle position and gets distressed as he kicks out with stiff legs and goes read in the face. Initially we thought this was due to gas or tummy ache but now we’re really not so sure as it can’t be a tummy ache all the time?! He also does not like his hands to be touched as he pulls away and seems to get a little distressed. He has clenched fists a lot of the time but does open them. When we do manage to get him to hold our hands his grip can vary between being loose and sometimes firm?! Is this anything to be concerned of and has anyone else experienced this?

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Worth the wait and pain. Baby girl arrived at 7:15 this am weighing 7lbs 6oz. She is so calm and chill.

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Growth scan

So had my 28 week midwife appointment- all good but after measuring bump- I’m now waiting on a scan within a few days as bump is measuring small I’m not worried as I am guessing a tape measure is hardly accurate but
For anyone who has been in a similar position- what was the outcome after the scan? Was the baby on the smaller side ?
Was baby measuring normal?

Thanks
