A Scare... but good news

Had a NST today due to a scare... she didn't move in 4 hours... Went to L&D was hooked up and after about 40 minutes and 8 oz. of sugary grape juice she started moving. I have had tightening for quite some time... but it has never shown up on the NST --- today it did. They were contractions or BH (Braxton Hicks). Ranging from 5 min. to 11 min. apart; that was pretty neat to see. Most I didn't feel... and considering I have a high level of tolerance for pain they were not surprised that I hadn't mentioned the tightening. They did say there was a lot of amniotic fluid ... b/c Abigail is positioned above my belly button other than her head... it is facing down toward the birth canal. She is a stubborn little thing.
