signs of labor?39 weeks pregnant

Question

I am a first time mom and do not really know what to look for other than what my doctor says about contracts and how far apart before I go in. All last night my stomach was hurting so I decided to get up and walk . Moments later I didn't even make it to the bathroom I vomited outside. It was like a waterfall! I couldn't sleep I had to try to sleep sitting straight up and this morning my stomach is hurting the same. It feels like I have to go to the restroom but when I go nothing comes out. Mild stomach ache that doesn't go away. I feel baby move every so often so that is good I believe. Is this normal? And has anyone experienced this. I am 39 weeks pregnant.

Answer

You likely have a gastrointestinal virus or bacterial infection. While that sucks, it's unrelated to your pregnancy. Stay well hydrated and eat bland foods.
Labor is literally tightening of your uterus from top to cervix sometimes wrapping around to the lower back. It occurs regularly an equal amount of time apart lasting 60 to 90 seconds getting closer together and stronger as time passes

Answer

I think you should go get checked in the labor room I experienced something similar but when I got to the labor room they noticed that my baby was out of oxygen and kept me in good luck 😊
