Another labor question

I woke up at 4am with bad diarrhea and ever since then, my stomach has not been right.

I've also been feeling a little chilly and a little like throwing up. I read that diarrhea and flu-like symptoms can be a sign of labor.

Did you experience this? Do you think I should eat? I had cereal this morning and I just had a little bit of lunch because I started to get shaky.

Re: Another labor question

Def try to eat. If it is labor, you dont want to go to the hospital on an empty stomach or without eating anything.
Once you get admitted it's only ice chips and that stinks! You need your strength.

I got the runs when i was in labor at the hospital, but i didn't get nauseus.

Sounds like you might have that tummy bug that going around.

Do you feel cramping? Like menstrual cramps? If so, start timing them.

Re: Another labor question

I had diarhea and threw up during labor, so they def. could be signs. But I didn't get those until I was 6cm diallated, and my contractions were really close together.
