I've not felt well all day. This morning I woke up to some cramping. I assumed that it was just my uterus stretching or such because last time I did not even feel my contractions, which from my researching, most do not feel them. I did notice last time that my uterus was hardening and softening because I was sitting on the sofa with my hands on my belly.

I spent today staying off my feet as much as possible and continually poking my belly. I also was a bit obsessive about checking each time I wiped for unusual discharge. So far, no hardening of my uterus, no unusual discharge. I also checked baby's heartbeat and it was 148-155bpm and s/he was on my right side. I find it a bit re-assuring, as last time when I went into pre-term labour I still was able to get a heartbeat at 7pm (155bpm), but baby was low and in the middle. By 11pm when I got into the ER and had an u/s done, baby was no longer moving.

Owen does not really trust the doppler bc of last time, so I re-assured him by saying that last time it was that heart rate but, I was also spotting/bleeding.

All I can do is rest, I think I'm just 0ver-reacting bc I'm so close to 18w, when things can start to go wrong.
