Sigh. Early labor or just stomach virus?
I've been feeling off all day. I kind of
attributed it to the fact that I had a few bites of DH's bean burrito
from Taco Bell last night (normally I don't eat Taco Bell). But then,
toward the end of the day, I started feeling faint and woozy, and had a
stomachache - I'm still having pretty intense cramps off and on. I
laid down as soon as we got home from work, and took a bath. Ended up
with chills, but no temperature. My stomach appears intent on emptying itself in whatever way possible (sorry if that's TMI). I have an OB appointment
tomorrow at 10, so I am hoping to hold on without heading to the ER,
because it doesn't really seem like there's a reason to go there and I don't want to drag DS there unnecessarily (our backup person is out of town until tomorrow afternoon). But
man, am I miserable. 
Is this more likely to be a stomach virus, or signs of early labor? I'm just barely into week 36.

Re: Sigh. Early labor or just stomach virus?
And I'm the exact opposite from klrrat....
In the past week my intestines have decided to act up like 3 different times. No puking so far, just nausea & heartburn from LO squishing all my organs. No regular contractions, only my BH that I seem to get most nights between 7:30 and 9pm (irregular, not painful just a PITA!) I was having a little bit of constipation problems a few weeks ago... but I think I must be overdoing it on fibrous foods since things are flowing just fine now...lol.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's a virus... it's that time of year! Make sure to drink a ton of liquids tho! I had a stomach bug this summer & couldn't stop puking for almost 24hrs. I ended up getting dehydrated and I swear it is worse than the nastiness of puking.

Last night I had intense cramping and was having pretty decent contractions that were seven minutes apart and lasting about a minute (a lot stronger than the BH I've had in the past with either pregnancy), I "went to the bathroom" four times between 6:30 and 10pm, and I woke up in the midst of throwing up three times. Today, nothing! Still feel a little bit of queasiness, but I've been able to eat and keep it down. I have been to the bathroom twice today whereas I normally only need to about 5-6x per week, never mind six times in 24 hours!
Who knows!?!?!?!?!?
