    i think this might be the start of labor for you x

    Your abdomen is probably stretched to it's fullest and your intestines are getting squeezed which is why you're not hungry. If you're only taking fluids it's normal that you end up getting the runs. Try adding crackers and toast to your diet. Maybe apple sauce too if you can handle it. I'm sure you're due to see your doctor soon, make sure to mention it though but I wouldn't worry about it. I remember the feeling !

  • Maybe you're just getting ready to go into labor. Just stick with the fluids for now because I would say that you are just about to have a baby and you don't want to eat anything if you are!! Good luck

    This can indeed be an early sign of labor. Drink red raspberry leaf tea and fruit juice and try some crackers or yogurt if you find your appetite returning.

    Best wishes!

    make sure that you keep plenty of fluids down. your doctor can prescribe something for vomiting. when i was 35 weeks, they gave me zofran, which is used during chemo for nausea and vomiting. and you can use immodium ad for the runs. the zofran is very expensive it was almost 200 dollars for 10 pills. but it is really good.

    dont take ibuprophen you will put your baby at serious risk.

    I would also avoid pepto. you can take tums, but that is about it.

    sometimes warm water or saltine crackers can help with naseau. But your getting really close to delivery i would also stay away from tylenol and aspirin.

    Keep pushing fluid and you might want to call your doctor if it continues.

    contact your physician, that's what they are there for. If this is something new for you you're physician needs to be aware. You're baby is depending on your for nutrition and if it's not getting it, you're doctor needs to know.
