Nausea before labor?

Question

Ok, so I am 38 weeks pregnant and have been having contractions on and off for days. They will come at regular intervals, about 5 minutes apart usually and are painful enough that I can't walk through them. Then they taper off. Also have been having 2-3 loose bowel movements a day for the past three days. Baby is very low in my pelvis and I am beginning to dilate.

I have posted about this before, but tonight I got VERY nauseous all of a sudden and felt shaky and horrible. It lasted about an hour and then mostly went away. I thought I ate something weird, but it wouldn't have gone away like this if that was the case. I have also had a nagging back ache all day and keep feeling like I have to go to the bathroom (bm) but then nothing happens. I have read this nausea/sick feeling can be a sign of labor. Anyone experience anything like this before labor began?

Answer

You are going into labor! 👼👏

Answer

During labor, when I was at the hospital and being monitored, I was throwing up pretty much just water, and the dr said it was from the stress & pain my body was going through. This was less than an hour before I was pushing. I didn't experience it with my first baby, only my second. So maybe it depends..if you're not at a hospital yet, I'd see about going soon.

Answer

I have been the exact same way. I asked my dr, she said it's normal, she also said if you are dehydrated it will make you feel worse
