Trusting your intuition
Currently 31wks with baby 5, and definitely have to say trust your intuition. I was at work yesterday, and everything was normal until around 9am when I just happened to touch my belly and noticed it was hard(I never really touch my belly). I then started noticing that I was having Braxton Hicks every 2 minutes with some being a little painful. I was trying to tell myself it's ok, but I just had a feeling that it wasn't. Called my OB's nurse line and was told to go ahead and leave work, and head straight to L&D because 31wks is too early for baby. The whole time I felt like I was just overthinking it, but it turns out my intuition was right. They. hooked me up to the monitors, and I was having small contractions along with my BP being 153/95. I ended up being there for 7 hours, and having 2 iv bags put in. Might have Gestational Hypertension, or may be a one time thing. Normally I just blow off everything because I don't like to make a big deal, but I'm glad I trusted my instincts. Hopefully this baby continues cooking for longer. Never had this happen with my other children.
