Well I phoned the midwife at my ob's practice and she said I should go in to get some CTG monitoring done.
The monitoring showed baby's heatbeat is fine. A baseline of about 135, going up to about 165 sometimes. Apparently there is nothing to worry about there.
So I'm much relieved, wondering whether I was being paranoid to start with, but I guess it's still "better safe than sorry", and baby and I both are better off if I'm not worrying about stuff like this.
I posted last night with a similar post to toomany but it hasn't come up.
Definitely don't feel like you were being paranoid..the best advice I think i ever got when we had Noah was that as his parents we always know best and to always trust your instincts!!
If you had the same concern again I would suggest doing the same thing again, as you said always better to be safe than sorry!!
It's not being paranoid - I'm glad you went in. Stress is a risk factor for a lot of things, so alleviating your stress is not a bad thing! I hope the rest of your pregnancy (not long now!) is smooth sailing.
