Feeling like i'm coming down with something at 38 weeks.

[Cookethenook]

I feel bloody awful and need advice on what to do.

I've had lots of periody-type pains for about a week and lots of Braxton Hicks, but not generally at the same time, so i don't think they're contractions.

My dad very kindly came over today and did the school run for me as i've been suffering from sciatica for the past few days and walking the 4 miles i have to every day to get DS too and from school was making it worse.

I now feel really sick, lethargic and hot, like i'm coming down with something. Just taken my temp and it's totally normal, so i'm not really sure how to tackle it and make myself feel better.

Any suggestions of what to take or what to do would be greatly appreciated.

If it were me I would be forced to contact the midwife. She'll be able to advise if you need to go in for a check too, especially so close to d-day.

Hope you're feeling brighter soon !
