Symptoms

I'm 36w 6d, and since yesterday I've been having period like crams (not consistent), headaches, diarrhea, and bleeding nose. My sugar levels and blood pressure are fine, so I don't know what's going on. I also drink a lot of water, so I don't think I'm dehydrated. My next appointment is this Thursday. Have you guys had this happen to you before?

Thank you ladies. I went to the doctor today and he said the headaches and nose bleeding could be from my sinus or just regular symptoms of the last weeks of pregnancy or it could also be related to anxiety (I've been feeling very anxious lately and stressed). Everything is great my baby, blood pressure, sugar levels, etc. My strep b test came back negative and I'm almost 2cm. So he said that my baby might come within a week or two. I feel so happy!!!!

I myself have had period like cramps since Sunday evening.  Monday night they were actually 3.5 mins apart for an hour.  And i had diarrhea all day yesterday too. I had decided to try sleeping figuring it wasnt real labor if I could sleep.  I only slept hour intervals waking up with contractions.  And in the
morning started throwing up.  Went to the doctor
first thing in morning and nothing... She said
dehydration causes contractions and labor.  Like
you i had been drinking constant but water never
broke, cervix is closed :-/.  I would go to the doctor as soon as you can and have them do a check up, or labor and delivery.  I left a bit confused cuz on the one hand she said I was in labor but on the other she said my cervix is closed...dont know if she meant I was in early labor...my doctor is on vacation this week so it was a dr I dont know.  I am 36 and 5.  Good luck.  Definitely get it checked out!

No but the headaches would concern me. You might just give a call and be sure it's nothing serious.
