MrsB. I am so sorry to hear about your Grandpa. I hope you can make it to the funeral. The funeral may not be for a week or so after his passing and (from what I've read) he hasn't passed yet? So you still have time.

I agree with the others that bubs will be ok. They might get a little more active in your belly as a reaction to the stress - but that should be it.

A couple of weeks before I had DD, I found out that my Dad had suffered a stroke. The stroke had happened a few weeks prior and it was a very messy situation. No one wanted to tell me, my estranged brother began trying to contact me, I had a massive fight with my parents over it... I became very distressed over the lying, my brother contacting me, and fear for my Dad's health (he'd already suffered two massive heart attacks in recent years)... I remember sitting on the bedroom floor crying and being so distressed that I began to contract. But as soon as DH calmed me down, the contractions went away. DD is perfectly fine (well, besides the fact she has me for a Mother! ) They are resilient little beings!
