My turn to go to L&D

I spent 2 hours in L&D today.  I'm a teacher and I realized that I hadn't felt LO at all this AM which is unusual.  So  I ate a an apple and drank some juice while I was on breakfast duty, and still nothing.  So I drank some super cold water and waited another hour.  After 4 hours and still no movement I called my Ob and of course he sent me over to L&D. 

it took the nurse about 2 minutes to find her heartbeat, but it was there.  I feel silly for going in, but I would have gone crazy in another  hour without knowing she was OK. 

My OB was very nice about the whole thing.  He looked at the tracing and said that if I was in the office with a tracing like that he would have sent me to L&D anyway.  And it is better to be safe than sorry.

The only good thing is I got all the questions about my birth plan and needs answered.

I did the same thing...twice.

You're right, better to be safe than sorry!

Never feel stupid for doing what you did.
