Am I over reacting?
My sister is due in mid-july with her second baby. She told me late last week that she had blood in her underwear after work. I told her to call the doctor but she said it was NBD. This morning when I was talking to her she said she had more, but still wouldn't call the doctor. She says she has an appointment tomorrow so she will mention it then.
I think she's being really irresponsible here. I know that I was a nervous wreck during my pregnancy and called too often to the OB's office, but don't you think blood in your underwear is a good enough reason to call and at least just let them know/see if they want you to come in?
She said that it's not a lot, but it's "enough" (not sure what that means...) and she's also been complaining of feeling "off" recently and not feeling well. Baby is still kicking and moving a lot, but I still think she should go to the doctor. Am I over reacting to this? Is it not a big deal?

The two men in my life. Oh, and I have a husband too...
she should definitely call
It just bugs me because she has wanted this baby for so long and has gone through so much (with her marriage) in order to have this baby and now I feel like she's being a dumbass about things
I don't think you're over-reacting. I would have freaked the freak out if I was bleeding while pregnant with C (I had a previous miscarriage, so I was easily freaked out while pregnant with C). My OB told me that I could call anytime for any reason, but most especially if I was bleeding.
She might not be thinking it's a big deal since the baby is still moving around and kicking a lot, but she really should at least call. They might tell her just to wait until her appointment tomorrow, but they may want her in to make sure that there isn't anything wrong.
Me too. I would call. And I do not think you are over reacting....IMO it shows you care.
Wow, yeah, I have to agree here. I don't think you're overreacting at all, especially after reading this.
Wow, bingo. She knows she should call.

I would go ahead and tell your Mom about it. If your sister gets mad, so be it, but it is what is best for the baby.
You're not over-reacting.
She's under-reacting.
Is she in denial? Depressed about the baby? I know when I went into PTL Joe actually called the OB because I was in denial that it was labor. I was freaking out and actually told him I didn't want the baby anymore. Obviously I was just in shock but maybe she is going through the same thing?
I would tell your Mom. Maybe she can talk some sense into her.
Francesca Pearl is here! Josephine Hope is almost 3!
Yep. DH actually yelled at me for being so calm. But, I had actually just checked out from reality.
Good luck and I hope your sister and her baby are OK.
