Being pregnant is stressful!
So I spent the morning unexpectedly in the hospital. Everything is fine, but man, it's hard not being in control.
For the past two days, my very active baby has been very, very quiet. I went from feeling him almost constantly and strongly, to only feeling one or two flutters a day. This morning I called the midwife, fully expecting to hear, "Don't worry. Sometimes they're more active than others."
Instead, I heard: "You need to go to the hospital now for a scan. We need to see you right away."
Cue freak out and a one hour trip to the hospital (I was at work when I called) with me in tears thinking about the worst case scenario.
It turns out everything is fine. He's strong and growing great. He's just been resting lately for no particular reason. And of course as soon as they start listening for a heartbeat, he's back to his old self.
What a roller coaster of a day!
Re: Being pregnant is stressful!
I remember that panic. Hugs.
I was admitted in the end for a couple of days before having the girls because one seemed to have stopped moving - she had run out of room and every time I had a kick on my left side it was like a little confirmation that she was okay. I don't miss that kind of stress.
Chronically hilarious - you'll split your stitches!
I wrote a book! Bucket list CHECK!

I remember emailing my cousin when I was pregnant about a concern I had and she said: "At least you know where your baby is, imagine how hard it is when he's out of your body!" And then, recently a friend on FB asked when do you stop checking to see if the baby is still breathing while he sleeps (her son was 7 weeks old at the time), one of the responses was "My daughter's 14 years old and I still worry about it!"
I think this stress will be never ever ending.
I am glad to hear that all is ok, though, and I'm glad you went in to get it checked so you know for sure.

Travelling turtle summed it up pretty well.
I'm so glad everything is ok.
I go into W's room every night before I go to bed to listen to him breathe.
So glad everything's okay! But that is super stressful. Sorry you had to go through that!
This is totally going to be me!
Thanks everyone.
