I'll start - I parked my car the other day and had to squeeze out and the door lightly pushed my stomach and I went all SS thinking I squished him. I spent the next hour counting kicks and being paranoid. Totally laughed at myself later that day.

I ran in to the corner of a table last night and had a similar aftermath experience.

I think I might just need to wear a SS badge from here on out. Woke up early this morning and LO didn't want to move. I poked a prodded my belly, had a glass of OJ and a banana and was getting barely anything from her after laying back down. Straight panic mode. Began to over analyze every single thing I did and/or experienced since the last time I felt her move (including but not limited too - taking a warm shower, eating a spicy dinner, walking around the house - how dare I do any of these things?) . About an hour later she started a little more movement and I fell back asleep. Got up a couple hours later and she's rolling and kicking because CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES. Baby girl just wanted to sleep in!
She has hiccups as I type - though they don't technically count as movement, I find them reassuring. Got to hear them a few times while she was on the monitor at the hospital. I definitely recorded it every time.
@bubbs119 Actually I thought I read somewhere that hiccups count as movement when you are tracking for kick counts. Either way, I agree that hiccups are comforting when you haven't felt baby move in awhile.
ETA OK I'm wrong lol. A quick google search showed me they don't count. I totally thought I read the opposite somewhere. Oh well. Glad baby was just wanting to sleep in!!

After a couple trips up and down the stairs today I was out of breathe, when it didn't resolve after the usual time I would've expected... I started wondering if I had a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs) and fixated on that until it *eventually* went away.

I totally thought I had a blood clot in my legs last night from (wait for it)....eating too much sugar yesterday.
I might win this week, because I was the one on the phone with the emergency line/then the on-call doctor at my practice at 1:30 this morning after a gush of fluid woke me up, only to be told that if nothing else comes out after standing and walking around for a while, I likely just peed myself.
I will be happy if that (both the middle-of-the-night peeing and the middle-of-the-night phone call) never happens again.

My niece gave me a hug that was actually a little painful... I was freaking out for 3 days... And am still super anxious on days where baby doesn't move as much. I'm a total nutcase.
Haha I have a grade one student who loves to show how much he loves you by hugging you as hard as he possibly can. It hurts so I actually told him that he had to stop because he was going to hurt me and the baby didn't like it (I know bad teacher).
ETA- only that he can't hug so hard...hugs are still allowed.
I woke up to the worst Charlie horse ever at 1:30 - I was hysterically crying and inconsolable. When h finally calmed me down and went to sleep, my leg started tingling and I was convinced I had a blood clot and I spent the next half hour googling.

Mine is similar to stcyct . I have been crampy and sore all day (likely just baby growing) and I had a BH contraction while walking to lunch earlier. Immediately I assumed labor was imminent. You know. Bc that's likely.

If it makes you feel better, I say better safe than sorry. When my water broke with DS I didn't believe it and was trying so hard not to be an SS and convince myself I was just (constantly) peeing myself, so I didn't go to the hospital until 4 hours later and was told I would be staying there until the baby came. My H even finished a big assignment he was taking for his master's at home while I reassured him I just needed to lie down for awhile.
It's finally nice enough out to take the dog for a walk so we took her for a short one. My stomach began to tighten so I started convincing myself that I had walked myself into early labor during a leisurely stroll. Turns out it's just cramping because I am so out of shape and ate a huge lunch beforehand. Sad.
I also gave myself a terrible cramp from walking the dog today! And worried about it, of course. I'm so out of shape.
I had a prenatal massage that had me lay in my back (propped by pillows) for about a third of it (15 min max?)and I spent the whole time wondering if I was hurting LO - even though he moved the whole time. He was kicking hard enough the sheet was moving, making the massage therapist laugh. I'm still terrified I did damage and should have spoken up about being on my back.
My pelvis hips and back are killing me. When I get up from resting or move in bed I feel like I'm ripping apart. I'm on the this-means-hes-coming-early train with the rest of you. Watch us all go post dates...
stcyct I'm going to ask my midwife if she recommends any particular chiropractors when I see her this week. I really hope it helps. I've been stretching and walking trying to keep myself functional but this is rough.

I have somehow convinced myself that all the discomfort I feel means I am in early labor undetected by all. Dunno why I constantly think this, but I do.
ETA: In reality, I am probably just constipated...
TMI but I had a rough BM and started worrying I was somehow going to end up pushing baby out. Then realized how rediculous that was. Going to start with the colace again though.

Congrats neongreen! Looks like this 1:30am phone call may have been warranted after all
Haha I was just going to edit my post with...Annnd you had your babies! Congratulations neongreen!!!
