I am the worst, THE WORST at calling my doctor for anything ... like I’ve told my mom, people used to do this all the time without medical intervention - legit cave women used to do this, I’m sure I’ll be fine 😅 a nurse at the doctors office even slapped my hand bc I didn’t call them when I was dizzy once 🙄 but I do everything I’m supposed to BEFORE calling, like drinking water, laying down, taking my blood pressure, etc. and see if it goes away. It usually does.

Well today I started with a bad contraction at the grocery store. I’m 35+2 so baby girl needs to cook a little longer. I’ve been timing my contractions since and they really have let up in intensity, but they’ve been pretty consistent. Currently I’m drinking water, laying down, and eating some oatmeal to make sure I’m doing EVERYTHING I can before I call my doctor. Now my lower belly just kinda aches. I have felt my girl move today. The only thing that has been remotely different is I started peeing more frequently, so maybe she’s just engaged in my pelvis deeper now ?

I especially hate calling my doctors on the weekends, but that’s when this baby gives me the most trouble - never fails 😂 I have an appointment Tuesday and at my last on Thursday I was not dilated. Just effaced.
