So this past weekend I was feeling probably the worst I've felt this entire pregnancy. Friday night I got home from work and felt fine, suddenly like an hour after being home I started getting a pounding headache, very nauseous and very shaky. I was holding a piece of paper in my hand trying to read it and the entire piece of paper was shaking to death. I laid down and decided to just take it easy. I continued to feel this way for a few hours but it wasn't getting worse. I had some cramping off and on but nothing timeable. I decided that if I felt this way for another hour or two I would call the doctor to make sure everything was okay. I ended up falling asleep and didn't wake up til my everyday potty run at 3:00am. Saturday I woke up and felt a little bit better. I still had a pounding headache and was nauseous but not shaky. I was cramping a bit more than usual, but still nothing timebale. I would say the entire day I felt that way. Sunday I woke up and was completely fine and today I'm here at work and feel totally normal. You think I just came down with a cold? Or is this a sign of labor nearing? I've been reading up and a lot of the symptoms CLAIM to be signs of labor nearing but honestly who the heck knows. Any ideas?
Re: Signs of labor nearing or just sick?
About a week before my water broke I had a few days of nausea, cramps, poopy issues, and major exhaustion.
It went away a few days before I actually went into labor.
HTH
Are you drinking enough water?? Maybe you're a little bit dehydrated. I know that can cause awful headaches and make you kind of crampy, as well as shaky and nauseous.
Hope you feel better!!
