It seems odd to me too that they would have had such a seemingly violent fight and then Laci would have gone to bed and slept.
Unless, she had been really hurt during the fight and felt she needed to lie down - if her ribs had been broken in the fight she may have been having trouble breathing.

She may have gone and lied down after the fight because the emotional and physical stress may have brought on some contractions.
I remember when I had fought with my late ex-husband when I found out he was cheating when I was 7 mos pregnant. It did not get physical, but was so traumatic and highly emotional to me that I went into premature labor and was in the emergency room that night. Thankfully, I got wonderful care from my Dr. (lovely soul) and recovered to go full term.
So maybe Laci was getting some kind of pains that led Snott to believe that the baby that he did not want was coming into the world even sooner than expected.
I do believe he did have some sort of macabre master plan to do away with his family. Only it did not go as perfectly as this phsociopathic-narccisist had wished.

What you said gives me an idea--maybe they had this knock-down drag-out fight, in which he punched her, and she had broken ribs, and maybe she did lie down, but was bleeding internally and died. I remember hearing of a case of a child who was kicked. After the scumbag abuser (mother's boyfriend... as IF you couldn't guess) had done that, the fool mother later put him to bed b/c he was very, very tired. Well, he was very, very tired because he was bleeding internally... needless to say, he died.
