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

bump

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.

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

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

Greentshirt how did you know

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

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

little how far are you?

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

Oh are you being induced this week?

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?

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

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

Thank you

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

Any news?

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

Are you feeling any better?

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

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.

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?

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Labour?

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