40weeks pg can someone plz tell me if this is normal?

[tye]

hi just wanting some advice today have had real bad stomach cramps sort of all over bump the type you feel when you really need to go to the loo but i dont always need it. this is also making me feel quite sick and am experiancing headaches and feeling weak. do you think this is anything to worry about? thanks in advance.

Sometimes sickness or diarrhea can be a sign of imminent labour maybe you are getting pains because of this.

just thought id add these cramps are not coming and going they feel as though they are around constantly.

??

Sounds laboury to me. I vomited during early labour. Quite alot!

do u not think this is anything to worry about then? just on tuesday midwife started asking me lots of questions about swelling and headaches as there was a trace of protein in my urine sample and my blood pressure was up a little. just made me a bit weary?

call labour ward.

I would phone the hospital and ask their advice.

Tye, call the labour ward and go to hosp. Sounds like pre-eclampsia from the protein and raised BP and you will need to be monitored v closely.

Good luck

I was hospilised for pre eclampsia for 7 weeks before DS was born, one of the questions I was asked every day was did I have any pain just under the ribs, also asked about headaches.
I would ring the labour ward

It sounds like a bladder infection. Have you taken your temperature? You need to phone the labour ward and explain the symptoms.

They can put you in to labour as your uterus can be irritated. Nothing to worry about you are full term

Phone them.

Best to ring labour ward. I was in a couple of weeks ago for monitoring with stomach pains at 36 weeks.

They did blood tests, CTG monitoring, BP, urine etc and when they were happy that all was well sent me home.

They're there to help so don't be afraid to ask.

Call the ward as you need to check it's not pre-eclampsia as well?

update?

hi everyone thanks for the advice went for a check up earlier tday and my blood pressure as got even higher but my urine is now clear the midwife gave me a sweep to try get things going and im being sent to the hospital tommorow to have my blood pressure monitored over a few hours and see what the consultant says about it.

good luck. i'm sure it'll all be fine.

rise in blood pressure very common towards end by the way...

thanks blinks. she seemed a little concernd as today ive been getting disturbed vision like little black flashing dots.

that is concerning but you'll be monitored closely. there's a chance they might induce you soonish but you're baby's nice and cooked... let us know how it goes tomorrow.

Hey Tye, I hope you are now a proud new mum and all went well in the end. Please let us know how you got on.
