I go to the midwife today. First appointment I will be attending on my own. First appointment where I actually have a lot of questions about different stuff going on in my body. Some I'm sure are normal..but I want to make sure. Others, well..we'll see.
On Friday night after a lovely family party, I headed home to an empty house. Nate was able to spend some time with a best friend gone blind. Laser eye surgery sounds yucky. Anyhow..as I was sitting there watching TV sitting home by myself..I started to experience strong quick chest pains. Just above my heart. Then my stomach ached. It wasn't really cramp-like, but worrisome nonetheless.
I am a worrier. Let me say that up front. I used to have nightmares as a kid that horrible stuff would happen to people I love. I would even start morbidly planning what I would say at their funeral. I worry. And my imagination is fierce and I loathe it.
So I call my mother. She is quite good at making me feel better, but this was one instance that worried her as well. So she said she would come over.
I will be going to the midwife today and ask her what she thinks it may have been. I haven't felt it since late Friday night. Both Nate and my mom think it may have been indigestion...as that can be quite painful...but this felt more like a panic attack. But I've never had one so I'm not sure. Plus I'm not a doctor.
Anyone out there have any ideas?

sometimes the baby is sitting high and their feet or your organs press into your lungs making it hard to breathe... maybe that? I used to get a "pulled muscle" type feeling right above my heart... same thing I've had when I've worked out really hard but I got it while pregnant and not working out. Even when sedentary, the pregnant body is hard at work :-)
Yes, I'm learning that. Turns out it was indigestion, but the midwife said to watch for those pulled muscle feelings.
