It is impossible to diagnose E via outer signs alone & many people jerk when they are asleep. If you are worried, please take your special little bundle to a physician. wishing you both well & congrats on the new baby ~sol

When people have trouble affording medical care, it's best to talk to a social worker at the hospital to get connected with financial assistance resources. The hospital may be able to help, or there may be help through government programs. Please explore these options and talk to the treating doctor too. Good luck!
