Hello - I've been pretty ill this week - so much so it's taken 5 days for me to even get onto MN!! It started with incredible nausea on Sunday and then swiftly followed by severe diarrhea. I had to stop eating completely and then promptly stopped sleeping too, so was feeling totally lousy.
I went to the Mw on Tuesday, whose first thought was to send me to hospital for testing. She then got a second opinion from a senior mw who said to leave it for another 48 hrs to wait for any improvement.
I gradually re-introduced food (dry toast) on Wednesday and started to improve. By yesterday I thought I'd recovered, but have woken today with bad diarrhea again so am concerned about leaving the house.
I guess what I want to know is, has anyone else experienced this ahead of labour? I've read that some ladies clear themselves itself out before labour, but this seems a bit more extreme. If it was a bug I would have thought it would have lasted for less time. I'm just hoping this will lead to something and that it's not all for no reason. I'm due on Sunday! Have had lots of BH and back pain. Can anyone offer any words of wisdom please? Thank you!
