Hey, i'm 39 weeks today (although by dates 39 + 5) with no.2 - woke up feeling nauseous and have vomited since, also had diarrhoea (sorry for that). Braxton Hicks have become slightly stronger and more frequent over last 2 days. Have rung Kings and they say i just have to wait it out - could be tummy bug, could be that labour will soon start. Just sitting here waiting now, so thought i'd see if anyone had any personal experiences to share to keep me distracted/entertained....
I had really bad vomitting/ nausea in the first trimester and I was being sick during the pushing stage of labour sorry for the detail! Hormones are funny old things, id say if things get bad keep in touch with the midwives or a doctor. Try and drink lots of water if you can especially if you have diarrhoea

As above was very sick in pushing stage and also just after delivery. Prob due to all the drugs though. No significant vomming in pre labour.


I am 24 weeks preg and was in kings 2 weeks ago with vomitting virus. 4 other women were admitted same day with vomitting so theory was there is a bit of a bug going around at mo that prego women are susceptable to. It passed in 24 hours but defo see gp if gets severe.....

Back end issues can certainly kick off labour (hence the use of caster oil etc for some). Just make sure you're not getting dehydrated. And there is certainly a bug going around - my daughter got it 3am this morning, and I'm starting to feel a little peeky. It's that time of year sadly.

Good luck with the birth, whenever it happens!

I was sick pretty much immediately labour started, unfortunately it continued during labour right up until i had an epidural. I was then sick afterwards (c section).. But that was a reaction to the drugs. I second the anti sickness drug, although second time round (elective c section) I needed a huge dose :( was sick every half hour for about 6 hours. It's a common reaction to anaesthetic apparently.
Thank you for all your comments/tips. Just thought i'd update you - the "braxton hicks" got to every 5 mins - i went into kings and they confirmed i had a bug and it was irritating the uterus, so after a couple of hours of thinking this was it we felt a little frustrated. IV drip overnight stopped everything in its track. However, here we are on Thursday, back at home with a lovely little girl, so regardless of the bug it was time. Hooray xxx

    • Indeed ianr, I didn't have time to include all Royal Mail options, thanks for that extra bit, they have been spot on for me, I use them a lot and have never had any issues with delivery, touch wood!
    • People are switching to electric cars irrespective of fuel prices.  100s of millions that could be spent on hospitals and schools for example have been lost due to fuel duty freezes and a supposedly temporary reduction.  Fuel is relatively cheap at the moment.  With a stonking majority when is it time to rightly take on motorists? Farming, I simply referred to Paul Johnson of the IFS who knows more about the economy that you, I and Truss will ever know. Food?  Au contraire.  It's too cheap, too poor quality and our farmers are squeezed by the supermarkets and unnatural desire to keep it cheap.  A lot less takeaways and more home cooking with decent often home produced, food should benefit most in our society. Be honest you do t like Labour. 
    • In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online.  There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed  at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker.  More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.
    • Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use.
