Should I go?

Question

I feel like a crazy mom every time I even think about going to the hospital, but I lost my mucus plug Saturday and have had diahrea for two days and horrible cramps and all of sudden its like impossible to catch my breath. I'm trying not to panic but holy crap I feel like I can't breath.

Answer

Shortness of breath is really common in the third trimester. It also means most likely your baby hasn't dropped, though. Unless you are in active labor, I wouldn't go, they will just send you home.

Of course if you truly can't breath, like your lips are getting blue because you don't have enough oxygen, that's a whole other story. Then you should go.
