something not right - probably just run down!

[coneywonder]

Hi I'm 34 weeks today and I hate myself for positing this because no one will be able to tell me for sure but I just don't feel right.

The past 3 days I have felt knackered and sick been having more naps juSt to get through the day. I have woken up this morning with a bit of a cold and sore throat and on and off cramps that are making me go to the loo.

I'm worried labour is iminent because I just don't feel myself. Anyone else felt like this late on?

I'm feeling similar! I'm 33 and a bit weeks and yesterday was convinced something was going to happen because I felt off. Today-fine again! Although I'm definitely more tired.

Is it your first DC? This will be DC2 for me and I'm sure I didn't feel this way first time round. Having said that, I really do think it's these last few weeks just playing on our minds . Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for replying it's nice to know I'm not alone! Yeah my first baby and I'm getting very anxious!!!! Hope you feel better too

I found with my pregnancies (I have 4 dc) that around 34/35 weeks is when I start feeling a bit rubbish again. Sorry!!!
Or maybe you could be coming down with a bug? Listen to your body either way put your feet up and have a duvet on the sofa day if you can. Hope you feel better soon :)

It would make sense. I do feel newly pregnant again! thank you I am definitely going to go and have a nap now haha xx

Absolutely could be that you're getting a bug, but if the extreme tiredness doesn't go away it might be worth having your iron levels tested. I was very very low in iron near the end of my pregnancy and was so drained that I couldn't walk up a set of stairs without feeling weak and ill. If you do have low iron it's important to correct this before the birth. So do keep it in mind if you don't see any improvement. Hope you feel better after your nap

There is a bug going round at the moment that manifests as extreme tiredness and a vague sore throat. My entire family have had it, some of us worse than others. It's possible this is what is causing the exhaustion. It's also possible it's the pregnancy-end-game exhaustion kicking in.

Buttwing speaks sense.

Thank you ladies. I think I'll rest up and see. recently had my iron levels checked but will keep an eye on it x

Hi I'm 10 weeks pregnant tomorrow and sometimes when I wipe after having a wee I get brown discharge. This is my 4th child I have had keyhole surgery about a year ago and have had 3 c-sections previous due to low lying placenta. I have trouble with back ache due to 3 spinals. Any suggestions pleasession?

kelly it could just be nothing I had spotting around the time my period would have been for the first trimester with one of mine.
However I would have it checked out, do you have an early pregnancy unit near to you? I would give them a call and find out if you can self refer or if you need to be referred by your gp. They can do and early scan just to check everything I'd ok.
Any bleeding is horrible and very frightening hope things are ok for you :)

I'm 34+1 and have felt similar to you OP since Friday.

I'm seeing the midwife tomorrow so will see what she says.

I hope you are feeling better soon

I'm 34 + 1 and feel exactly the same. Saw the midwife today who told me I looked horrendous and she could tell I was low in iron just by looking at me! She took my bloods, is rushing them through the lab and told me to go home, eat a steak and have an early night. I cried on her
