I know a lot of people will just tell me I am wrong or crazy, but I have learned to trust my intuition over and over again especially about my body. I am 33 weeks pregnant and my pregnancy has been complicated with preeclampsia, heart rate issues, and fetal growth restriction; all of which can cause preterm labor.

I am very in tune with my body. I knew I was pregnant before I could test, I knew I was carrying a girl when I found out for sure I was pregnant, and I started nesting around 20 weeks because I knew my pregnancy was about to get really complicated. Throughout my pregnancy I have learned to trust my gut.

Lately I have been having TONS of false labor contractions daily (at least 2-4 every hour), my baby has definitely dropped, I have intense pelvic pressure, I have increased nausea and fatigue, I have no appetite, and just a really strong gut instinct that labor is going to start soon. I got all of these feelings with my son around 38 weeks and had him a week later.

I have a doctor appointment today and I plan on telling him what’s been going on. I just worry for my baby and my body
