Ladies, please for the love of all that is holy, do not wait to go to the hospital if ur having period like cramping! I don't care if u call and they tell u everything is fine and it normal, sometimes it's not! They don't know what ur body is doing unless they monitor and check u personally! They can't tell just from a phone call! I was in the hospital last night because I woke up yesterday morning with period like cramping. It felt different from the normal Braxton Hicks that I get. I called and they said ur fine, it's normal, call us back if u notice any bleeding or fluids leaking. I waited, and then I started to notice my baby hadn't been moving much and it got less and less throughout the day. I called back around noon and they said well ur 35 weeks so she'll start slowing down around now. I started trying everything I could to get her to move and she just wouldn't budge. I freaked out and made my husband take me in anyway around 3 and I demanded to be monitored. They figured out I had an elevated pulse and I was having contractions 3-4 minutes apart and I wasn't feeling them at all! Baby did start moving as soon as they hooked me up to the monitor so she was fine, but if I wouldn't have trusted my instincts who knows what could've happened! They gave me the turboline (spelling?) shot to stop my labor. I know she probably would've been fine at 35 weeks but still, I would much rather her be 37 weeks or more! Please don't waste ur time researching the internet for the vague confusing answers you'll get, or waiting for replies on here and social media from women that have completely different pregnancies than u. I know a lot of us r experienced and definitely have good advice and answers for some things, but if it's something as serious as that just go in!
