Hi this is the first time I have posted, I have vomited, have diahorrea (sp) and keep having really hot flushes, are these signs of labour? I am 40+2 weeks this is my 2nd baby. With my ds my first sign of labour was my waters breaking. Thanks

Could be the start so rest where possible but also try and keep busy.

Book a pamper session for tomorrow, that will get the baby coming.

Could be but I'd be more inclined to think you have a tummy bug! Sorry, that isn't very helpful is it? Stranger things have happened but it is more usual to vomit as labour progresses.

Thanks, the hot flushes are the worst

Feel like I have been pregnant forever!

oh, please get checked out if you have a tummy bug - I know it's unlikely, but I've read of more than one case of seriously ill/still born babies when mother has a stomach upset close to term.
hope it is just labour starting though!
