Involuntary arm flings

Hey moms, my 6 month old keeps on having these involuntary arm flings on his one arm. I am wondering if it is totally normal?
The reason I’m concerned is because one week ago I had a fall while wearing him in the carrier which was a huge scare. At the hospital they did all the checks including an ultrasound of the brain through his Fontanelle which showed everything was completely as it should be, and he had no signs of the fall at all. But since then I noticed the arm movements and can’t remember if it happened before, it’s totally normal that it’s happening and if I’m being a bit paranoid post trauma from the fall, or it could be linked in any way that I need another opinion?
Advice please!

He’s just discovering his hands and arm movements. Try not to worry!

Pregnancy after c section

I can’t wait to get pregnant again, but has anyone gotten pregnant shortly after having a c section? The midwife told me to wait 2 years before I get pregnant again, however, that means I’d be 44 and I’m worried it might be a risky pregnancy.

What was the first thing you treated yourself to after delivery?

I'm due my C Section today, trying to keep my mind off of the procedure 🍔🍟🥗🧁

Movements & Kicks! 🩵

Hey ladies! I’m currently 18 weeks (19 tomorrow) and I’ve been feeling baby boy tickling me for the last couple of weeks. I now think I am feeling him kicking me. I am just guessing that is what’s happening but I can’t even seem to catch him doing it! Anyone had this previously and has some advice with seeing baby kick? My Fiancé is desperate to see it and feel it but I have told him to be patient lol
