i just read in a pregnancy book that if after 36 weeks your baby gets frequent hiccups ( 2 or more bouts lasting more than 10 minutes in 24 hour period)then the baby could have a knot or kink in the umbilical cord or it could be wrapped around the neck!!!!!! this freaked the hell out of me! i am almost 38 weeks and from 36 weeks the baby started getting hiccups, when hadnt before during the rest of the pregnancy, and she gets them in the morning and at night and sometimes during the day and they last for about 20- 30 minutes! is this something i should be worried about??

also as time gets nearer to D day i am finding it increasingly hard to get to sleep! apart from the little aches and pains related to lying down all these paranoid concerns run through my head to do with her being born healthy and alive!! is this normal?? i just want her to come out so that i can stop worrying about it!

i probably sound like a paranoid wierdo, sorry.
