Unwell 35 weeks

[SSimp24]

Im 35 weeks and been feeling unwell this weekend. Put it down to the kids having a sickness bug earlier in the week but I just feel so drained.

Do I just ride it out or should I phone the midwife?

Feeling drained is very common at that stage especially if your body may be fighting a bug too. There’s not much your midwife can do. As long as movement hasn’t changed just drink plenty and rest.

Always trust your instincts.

Presumably, because you mention older kids, been pregnant before. You know what usual 35 week illness looks like. As your questioning it, this is not it.

Phone the midwife.
