Do you trust your instincts?
Yes, I do tend to trust my instincts. I’m not one to sweep things under the rug. The downside of that is that I sometimes overreact to things.
I think parenting is one of those areas where it’s important to trust your instincts. If you think there’s something wrong with your pregnancy, baby, toddler, child, teenager, etc., you should act on it. It’s better to be wrong, than to let a real problem go unaddressed.
Listen to that little voice inside your head.

I tend to over react, too. I tell myself to cool off before saying or doing anything… man, I wished I would listen to myself sometimes!

That’s a good idea. If it’s not terribly urgent, make yourself think about it overnight.
