Well, October was certainly a month that I wish could be erased! I had a few concerns and fears and, without going into details, it turned out that my instincts were correct about them.

I’ve since heard people say that your instincts are heightened during pregnancy, and I’m very glad that I listened to them. It may just be that they saved my life from being completely catastrophic with only 3 weeks left to go before the due date.

Pregnancy can give women a reputation for being overly hormonal and reacting crazily – I’ve certainly had moments where I’ve needed to weigh up how I was feeling and reacting to a situation – but trust your instincts and listen to what the voice inside is telling you. It’s doing a good job of protecting you and your baby.
