I have my weekly NST with MFM this afternoon. Keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes okay. The last day or so I've started to have weird feelings with LO's movements. When I move around, or sometimes laying on my side, it almost feels like air bubbles or vibrations in there. I'm definitely going to ask the doc about it. I looked it up online and all I found is that other people have felt it but no one seemed to know what caused it.

A bit more worrying to me though was last night DH was being a bit of a jerk and we got into a pretty loud argument and I had an ugly cry. I think we were both stressed out and not feeling well. (I've had a sinus infection the last few days and DH is trying his hardest to not come with it but unfortunately failing I think.) The fight itself probably only lasted about 10-15 minutes or so, but afterwards LO was super crazy active, to the point it was painful (I think it stressed her out too :-() However, once she calmed down it seemed like her movements felt different. It felt like her kicks had moved to lower and that I was feeling movements on both sides of my bump but lower down instead of feeling her feet high up like I've been used to. She's been head down for weeks, and I know in general this late in the game it's unlikely for her to move from that position, but now I'm paranoid that my getting so worked up got her so excited/active that she turned transverse or something. I admit I didn't get much sleep last night since every time I would start to relax LO would start to move and then I'd feel the need to analyze her movements.

Fingers crossed it is just me being paranoid. DH keeps telling me I'm wrong, but I keep telling him he's not the one with the baby inside him feeling it move all the time. I admit his comment "even if it was true, the worst that would happen is you'd need a C-section" didn't really help matters. Yes, I know there are lots of worse things that could be wrong with LO, and I'm grateful so far she is healthy, but I'd still feel terrible if something like a stupid hormone/stress/sickness-induced argument caused me to possibly need a C/S. I keep trying to tell myself that even if she did move, if she was able to move into a bad position she should still be able to move back.

This has been your random paranoia for the day...
