Has anyone else experienced this? Did anything help and did you vomit in labour? I feel like absolute hell :(

Poor you. I'm afraid I know nothing about this, as I'm only 16 weeks but you have my sympathy.

When are you due? The body has a clearout often before labour starts. Could it be the real thing?

Yes, I had the same with DS. I had MS until 22 weeks then eased off until 36 weeks. When I went into labour at 40 +2 I was sick after every contraction. All the ideas about having a bath, taking pain killers, small snacks and relaxing at home were impossible for me. I carried on vomiting right up until it was time to push. Basically a nightmare. Hope that it is not the same for you, but it was so out of the blue for me. I hadn't read anywhere about this being a possibility so was shocked. I am now 23+3 with DC2 and have a feeling I am headed the same way. FIngers crossed for you it's over soon and you have your LO to help you forget about it.

I'm 29 weeks, and I haven't had any other contractions since 2am, so doubt it's true labour.

ships I've got a horrible feeling it might be the case for me, I had hyperemesis at the start of the pregnancy, and am still getting MS now. I never knew you could vomit through labour :( So many things I didn't know about pregnancy.
