36 weeks, is this normal?

[hannahkj19]

i'm 36 weeks and 2 days and have woken up this morning feeling like i'm coming down with flu! i slept exceptionally well considering normally atm i can't even get to sleep but i've woken up unable to get warm and feeling so achy all over and feeling like i'm gonna be sick! is this quite a normal thing? or could i be coming down with something? what do you think I should do? I have quite a lot of things I need to be getting on with today and this is not helping at all!!!!

TIA xxx

Sorry you're feeling rotten OP. I'd get an appointment with your GP ASAP and ask specifically whether there is any chance it could be swine flu. Don't feel like you are making a fuss over nothing, honestly! If they suspect it, you need to start treatment within 48hrs of the fever starting for the treatment to be properly effective. I had swine flu whilst pregnant last year and it was grim and had to really fight to get treatment, but I'm glad I did! Otherwise, paracetamol, fluids and lots of rest. Is there anyone around that can do stuff for you? Really hope you feel better soon x

It does sound like you are coming down with something :( i wouldnt say those are normal pregnancy symptoms tbh. If you feel really unwell you could see out of hours doctor today?

am meant to be seeing my midwife in the morning and have had my flu jab do you think i could hold of until I see her? will wrap myself up under a blanket with lots of cups of tea and take some vitamin C and try and do most of the things I need to do from bed! xxx

as long as you dont feel really really ill then shoudl be fine until tomorrow i shoudl think :)

Hope you are feeling ok and you got some good advice x
