40 weeka and feeling yuck. any reason why...?

[K8eee]

Well I'm 40 weeks tomorrow but since I've woken up I feel really nauseas and I keep gagging the thought of food makes me want to be sick, and I can only just stomach water. I had some juice when I woke up which I managed but now all I can sip on is water. I'm sort of scared to eat as I really don't want to throw it up. is this normal this late in the day? I'm feeling pretty exhausted too, and can't be bothered to get dressed

[K8eee]

bump

[LittleMachine]

I'm 40+6 and have spent a lot of this week dry heaving and haven't eaten much. I've felt awful most of the week, I did last time once I hit 40 weeks too.

On the other hand you could be getting ready for the baby to arrive. Fingers crossed.

[K8eee]

Well I managed some brunch and a light snack. so weird as all throughout my 3rd trimester I've eaten like a horse!

[greentshirt]

I know you are gagging to go into labour but it could just as easily be an off day! :)

[K8eee]

Greentshirt how did you know

[LittleMachine]

I've been the same K8eee, but this week I've lived on apples and caramel eggs!

[K8eee]

Ah caramel eggs!!! I am envious thankfully I have got my appetite back and managed turkey stroganoff for dinner.

little how far are you?

[LittleMachine]

I was due last Sunday
I went 11 days over last time.

[K8eee]

Oh are you being induced this week?

[LittleMachine]

Yes, I'm booked in for Wednesday, I'll be 40+10. Very nervous! Do you feel like you're close? Are you having a sweep this week?

[98percentchocolate]

I felt awful the day before I went into labour - this may be a good sign!

[K8eee]

Good luck for Wednesday unless it happens before! well I've got an appt at the mw Tuesday not sure if they do a sweep there and then or later in the week

[LittleMachine]

Thank you

It varies between primary care trusts I think. Here they do one on your due date, but others don't offer one.

[greentshirt]

Any news?

[K8eee]

No am going to trying and do a lot of.moving about today see if that's of any help

[LittleMachine]

Are you feeling any better?

[K8eee]

Yeah a lot better thanks a friend of mine has suggested I eat a really hot curry apparently because it gives you the thing of an upset stomach the spasms can start things off

[LittleMachine]

I had a curry the night I went into labour last time, but I'd already had about 40 curries in days before that!

Glad you're feeling better.

[K8eee]

Well I've suggested it to dh and he's well up for me giving anything a go we've tried having sex but that triggered nothing we're going to cinema in a sec so maybe the loudness of that might startle it into action followed by a hot curry and guaranteed toilet trips in the morning maybe it will do something. I can but try. how are you feeling?

[LittleMachine]

We've tried lots of sex. Always worth trying again

I'm ok thanks, very uncomfortable but resigned to my Wednesday induction!

[K8eee]

Let me know how it goes! I have a feeling I'm going to be left hanging here for an induction too

yeah true, and it keeps dh happy as well I suppose especially as he shan't be allowed there anytime soon after the birth

[JustDanni]

May be a sign of impending labour.
My very close friend had nausea and food aversion with all 3 of her babies in the last week.

[LittleMachine]

I will let you know. It's early in the overdue process for you, it's still more likely you'll go on your own, don't worry.

[K8eee]

my appetite isn't as much as it was before I felt funny the other day, but I've just got in from having a walk around the shops with dh, and a couple of ladies have commented that im still carrying quite high.

[Kri5ty]

Labour?

i was sick 2 days before with my last one and couldn't stomach food x
