really dont want to go to l&d but im at a loss of what to do!

All day i havent felt right. Baby had maybe 1 hour of being active all day long despite me eating honey graham crackers a couple of dots, a couple of bite size cherry twizzlers, some nerds and some icing and the movement was BEFORE i ate the candy. And i havent felt right all day. :( im nauseated, cant stop going to the bathroom and feel as though im coming down with the flu. No fever. Hot shower didnt help the soreness or aches. No appetite at all. Headache. I feel like crap. I think im going to try to stick it out but at what point should i go in??

Baby started moving more!! I ate some pizza rolls (that i now regret eating) and shes moving and stretching like crazy. Im up to 6 movements in the last 10 minutes!

I really hope its labor trying to start and not the flu! I just feel so bleh!

Have some ginger tea or ginger snaps. That always helps me when I feel sick and can't eat

If you feel a sudden decrease in movement, I'd go in..even at this stage baby should still be active, sometimes if I get a lack of movement I'll wrap some tights around my belly like they do at the hospital for the NST's and she'll kick right away, haha..that's how I do my test run! BUT it's actually common to get flu like symptoms before labor, your body's way of clearing itself out, I would call L&D and just explain your symptoms and see what they say, if they think it's anything out of the ordinary they'll ask you to come in!

The biggest thing thats bothering me is the nausea. And the pressure. I can handle the aches but i HATE feeling nauseated and unable to get sick. At least if i was getting sick i wouldn't be nauseated!

[mrsnelson2010]

I really hope not! I didnt get the flu shot though. I never do because it makes me catch the flu. But yuck! :(  i think ill try tylenol and some benadryl so i can maybe sleep tonight. Hopefully im better by morning!

Are you sure you aren't coming down with the flu? I have been feeling that way all day too. I finally took some tylenol and it helped with my aches and pains. I'm getting closer to my due date so when I woke up this morning I thought it was baby related but now I think I really might just be coming down with something. If you start experiencing any of the symptoms they tell you to come in for I'd go in, otherwise it may just be that you are indeed coming down with something.
