A mother's instincts??

So I know I could've just called my doctor earlier today,  but honestly I do not trust she's going to take me serious without some evidence. I haven't been able to sleep very well lately and all day today it just felt as if something was wrong. I don't know if one of the twins hasn't made it, if it's slower in progressing, going to be stillborn, or be okay, but end up with special needs. That's as rational as I can be, but it just feels like I'm coming out of this pregnancy with one:( I have been feeling slight movement on my left side since early on and is getting a little stronger, and that's where the dr found the 1st heartbeat. She wasn't even sure she had found the second, but I felt very very light movement where my hair would be and that's where she thought the second heartbeat might be. But I haven't felt anything in days from that area, just the left side and now the very most bottom of my stomach is contracting. Its been doing it since last night and isn't very painful, my muscles are just getting tired of tightening and loosening, but I can't get it to stop. It'd kill me if I lost one, but my instinct is telling me something isn't right. Think I should go off my instincts and get checked out or am I just crazy with all this and worrying wayyy too much?!

It's 6 of those 20oz bottles lol I feel like the only thing I do is drink water and pee, but I guess even that's not enough. Doc said vitamin water every time a commercial would come on tv..so like every 10 mins. Also said the hot shower was the cause of almost everything bc it opened my veins and lowered my blood pressure and heart rate and me almost passing out is equivalent to my body resetting itself..called vagal reaction. I should've told her about the vomit with blood in it(happened again today) though bc that's on the list of reasons to go back to the emergency room-and my reg Dr said it meant nothing!

i think you should go get checked out immediately because i had that instinct too with my last pregnancy and when i went to the ER they did and ultrasound done and they didnt find a heartbeat. i had a feeling something was wrong and i kinda knew i would M/C and i didnt know when and thats why i went into the ER and the baby passed away at 9w2d. so yes it would be your motherly instincts your getting. dont wait last minute hun
