Section in 3 days. Is feeling really sick normal? Bah!

Just wondering if it's normal to feel ill close to B-day? I have had diarrhea for ages now (iron tablets not helping, although they do seem to have cured restless legs so no way am I stopping them!), but now I'm also feeling nauseous as well. Hope I'm not actually sick. Maybe it's just nerves, or maybe my body's having a last-ditch feeling-as-shit-as-possible-fest before it has to start feeling like a normal body again. Urgh.

I think nausea is quite common in early labour...

No it's not my first, but I was induced with the last one so I went from having no labour symptoms to full on screaming in a matter of minutes lol (just kidding for those who are to be induced- it wasn't all that bad and I had gas and air from the very start which was awesome). I don't think it's labour really- just feeling pretty icky.

Well, mild cramps and nausea could be early labour iirc (have blocked it out!) Hope not, if your section is all booked and sorted. And hope you feel better soon.

Quite a lot of women get ms back at the end, I think it's because the hormones are ramping up again. I felt terrible from about 34 weeks

To top it all I haven't felt many baby movements in the past 12 hours. sigh. This is my last full day at home before hospital shenanigans and I know it's going to be hard not to sit and worry all day!
