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.

"....the emotional and physical stress may have brought on some contractions."

Yes that's possible - she might have laid down due to the stress, rather than actually "going to bed". What an awful thing to endure late in pregnancy. I'm thankful that you were able to carry your baby to term.

I'm just getting caught up on the posts of the past few days now.
Sorry for what you have been through - fortunately you managed to get to full term with your pregnancy.

You could be right - Laci may have been having some sort of pains. I have always wondered why Scott would have taped her up exactly the way he did, and now with the mention of the draw string of her pants being pulled so tightly - it does seem like Scott feared the baby might be coming sooner then expected.
