  So sorry you are feeling so bad! Sounds like you may have gotten some kind of stomach bug/food poisoning. Be sure to let your ob/midwife know you are feeling this way! Make sure you drink LOTS AND LOTS of fluids -- dehydration can be serious for your baby. 

  
  

  I had a similar situation when I was about 20 weeks pregnant (I woke up in the night and started throwing up for hours and couldn't keep anything down). I called my OB and she had me come in for IV fluids to avoid dehydration and just to double check on the baby. I recovered quickly and baby was fine -- but it was reassuring to have some one double check on the little one. 

  
  

  Hope you feel better soon!

  I have been the same way.  Throwing up/nauseous, diarrhea, just feeling all around crummy and having contractions for 24 hours.  I was just informed that my flu like symptoms are very common a day or two before labor.  So, maybe we're approaching baby time?    I didn't have any of this with my first because my water broke spontaneously in the middle of the night so I'm not sure how one feels before labor.

  Have been feeling the same way. Doc says it can very well be signs of labor. LO is still extremely active however I lost my mucus plug on Sunday and have dropped a litlle everyday since last week. I have my 39 week appt on Tuesday and am hoping to be contracting to better explain my feelings to the doc.
