L woke up crying at 4AM. We usually let her fuss/cry for a few minutes to see if she'll fall asleep on her own. Last night, she kept crying and to me, her cry sounded different - more desperate? DH wanted me to leave her alone, but something just felt wrong, so I went and checked on her. Good thing I did - baby girl had took a massive poop and her diaper had totally turned into a flotation device!
Ever have a moment like this when your intuition was correct?

Definitely. I think mommy's intuition comes into play a lot when they are babies and can't communicate with you.

Yup lots of times. I still get that "feeling" to go check on him even though we generally are pretty hands off at night.

yeah definitely. I had it before she was even born. Starting at 32 weeks I had this overwhelming feeling that something was wrong. twice I went to the ER for redced fetal movement, and the second time they discovered a bunch of issues with me that needed to be closely monitored.

Lately, I've been leaning a lot more on my own intution than what I read in books and on the internet. And it feels GOOD.

OOh yes. I wanted to take LO to the pediatrician a couple weeks back because I felt like her cries were sounding different, like she was in pain. DH was so irritated with me because he said it was going to be a total waste of a trip....she ended up having an ear infection! Sometimes you just know.

When you're the primary care giver, no one knows that baby like you do!

@banana: I totally agree with you. I think it took me awhile to feel confident in my abilities as a parent, but I'm slowly learning that no one knows my baby as well as I do.
