Gut instincts

I wonder how true gut instincts hold. My mom is like crazy psychic when it comes to my three sisters and I. She knew each time I or Katie broke our arms, among other things. She always knew when we were getting into some trouble or had behaved in a less-than-what-she-expected-of-us manner as teens, SOMEHOW. She KNEW our genders in utero, she KNEW when we'd be born, down right to how Sarah would look.

So I feel its genetic, my 6th sense surely isn't as fine tuned and expert as my mother's, but sometimes I just get OVERWHELMING sensations and ideas about my children. I knew each time Colton had an ear infection, even though he never did any of the classical signs. I knew he'd be a teeny baby too.

So now recently, I've been having a feeling that my body is getting ready to be done with this pregnancy. There are some physical symptoms, that I'll spare everyone, then there's just the whispering idea that I could go into labor soon- like right when I hit 37 weeks. I've also felt since about late March, that I'd have this baby earlier than expected.

I'm hesitant to believe it or discuss it, because I may look like a silly fool when I don't go into labor. But I'm so stinking sick and tired of going to my doctor, of being tired, of not feeling normal, and the worry about the baby (and myself), that the idea of going into labor sounds SOOOOOOOOOOO lovely!

Thursday my doctor said if anything happens, (high BP symptoms, labor, growth restriction, etc) she won't wait to deliver or try to buy anymore time at this point. So I know if I DO go into labor early, I've got her go-ahead and my efforts won't be for anything!
