Not well and due

I'm due to be induced on Wednesday but I'm really not well.
I have stomach issues such as diarrhoea and lots of gas, cramps and gurgling (sorry)
Also not really able to leave the house as when I need to go I need to go now.
Also sulphur burps which is horrible.
The thought of giving birth while feeling like this is awful, I don't know if I have the energy, I just want to sleep.
It could be a stomach bug or something.
Should I still go in for induction?
Should I contact the hospital/midwife or am I just feeling sorry for myself and I'll be fine?
I'm being induced at 39 weeks because I'm 41.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I'd contact the hospital/midwife. but also consider whether an induction is necessary and really what you want, if it's only your age that is a factor, and baby is doing well. Post-term pregnancy and induction of labour resources - Dr Sara Wickham

You might find this is the start of a natural birth? Mine started with an upset stomach. Just a thought but yes to contacting midwife

I had this just before going into Labour. Xx

Sounds like the start of labour?

Readytoevolve · 23/09/2024 20:50

See what the night brings, it could very well be the start. You’ll find the energy for birth don’t worry about that

This sounds like you might be going into labour naturally. This is exactly what happened to me both times!

FS90 · 23/09/2024 20:53

How far along are you OP?
