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?!

I'm 13+3 so not very far but I cannot get a good number for l&d so my bf got off a half hr early and is headed home now. I took a shower and symptoms jumped to stomach and back pain, blurred vision along with big black spots here and there, all of a sudden I'm sweating, a terrible migraine, and real nauseous even though I barely get sick these days

You sound dehydrated and light headed. Drink and eat something so you don't pass out. Sit down, relax and try breathing calmly.

I agree.....eat a snack and drink a big glass of water.  Also if you don't trust your dr this early look into getting another.  Good luck.

I'd get checked out to if I were you but I wouldn't worry about the movements as much since your not very far along and it can be hard to feel movement plus babies are still very small and move alot second baby could be in a new place and hard for u to feel the hits. As for the rest of your symptoms you should go in never feel bad for your instincts and how u feel! Good luck I hope all is well with both your little ones.
