Stuff like that happens in my extended family once in a while. Let's just say that if I 'get an urge' to do something out of the ordinary and no one will be dissapointed that I'm not where I'm supposed to be, I've learned to follow it.
I don't have many moments like that nowadays, but before kids I 'just happened to show up' during a friend's difficult labor when they couldn't reach her DH or anyone, and she says it really made a huge difference. ((shake))
I don't think that you have to figure out if it can be 'explained through normal means' or not. We had a saying for DS when he was 6 or so, that if DS says something that sounds like it couldn't possibly be true, then it most likely is.
It always felt 'unscientific' to notice such coincedences, until I decided that it was 'unscientific' to only allow certain kinds of data to 'count.'
My advice is: Enjoy!
