What to do...

Warning: graphic pregnancy post!
I wasn't sure I was going to post about this, but then I thought...this blog is suppose to be about all the things that happen with my pregnancy, so that includes the good the bad and the ugly.
Anyway so this weekend starting on Friday I had a case of the runs, not that big of a deal except it got worse as time went on and was what I would call fairly moderate on Sunday. I was starting to get worried and decided I should call the doctor on Monday morning, which I did, but by then I was feeling pretty much better. The advice nurse told me I should have come in on Sunday because sometimes diarrhea is a sign of pre-term labor and that if it happens again, I should just go to labor and delivery instead of waiting to talk to OBG which is closed on the weekends.
So I guess I should have gone to the hospital, though I am feeling pretty good now (stomach is still not %100, but getting there). It is so hard to know, what is a danger signal and what is just the normal course of pregnancy? When am I being rational and when am I being a basket case? Life’s great mysteries! So, we are still on the watch, but I think I am ok.
