Body preparing for Labor?

Question

Just turned 36 weeks today! Yay! However over the passed few days I have gone from being mostly normal to being absolutely exhausted, no appetite (honestly I have an insatiable thirst) and nausea with some upper stomach and rib pains. Is my body preparing for labor or is this just how the last few weeks can be due to hormones?

Answer

Feeling the same way at 36+2! Super thirsty and hungry!

Answer

Yes. I’m 37 weeks and the past week I’ve felt like complete crap. Everything is swollen and achey. I can only do like one thing a day and I’m sleeping all the time.

Answer

That’s what hitting the 9th month does! It was exactly 36 weeks with my first that this happened. It happened much earlier with my second.

Answer

Be careful with the thirst! I had a friend who was diagnosed with preeclampsia and had her baby at 37+2 and her 2 main symptoms were incurable thirst and swelling, and later protein in urine. But your body could also just be preparing you.

Answer

Combination of both!!!

Answer

I was 36 weeks yesterday and I'm feeling the exact same way! I was having no contractions or pains and then Friday night it all suddenly changed! I haven't been hungry or anything

Answer

I'm 36 weeks and feel pretty much the same. I think it's just our bodies prepping for labor in the coming weeks.
