Is this normal…?

After my shift today (I’m a restaurant server) I have been feeling extremely nauseous, sore, and major braxton hicks contractions, also very dizzy with a bad headache. I drank a TON of water today but I got home and feel like death. I worked about 5 hours but on my feet for the most part of it. But I truly feel AWFUL. Should I be concerned? 

I’ve never had the nausea and dizziness and headache but today just woah….

Giving myself anxiety thinking something is wrong.

First, I'd probably feel awful after working a shift like that on my feet at this point, I don't know how people do it! So to some extent, I think it is normal. And dehydration was my first thought, but if you feel like you drank enough (2-3 liters?), that may not be it. I'd also consider that you may be getting sick- it's that time of year, and our immune system is weaker in the third trimester. However, headache, dizziness, nausea all can be signs of preeclampsia, so there is a chance it's something more serious and it's worth talking to your doctor about.
