PR: what do these symptoms mean
So, I'm excited that I have made it to 34 weeks, 6 days, as by this time with Will, he'd been born. But...
Now that I'm at work, I'm dizzy feeling, and a bit nauseous, and my stomach feels very tight. Baby is moving a lot, and I'm not swollen or puffy at all. I've tried sipping water and eating crackers, but that doesn't seem to sit well. I don't want to over-react on this, as I slept horrible last night, and both DS and DH were sick last week. Could just be stress from my sis's upcoming wedding, with a possible sickness. I really don't want to have to take time off to go downtown to Mercy to get checked out, which is what I know the OB would say to do. I haven't had a single contraction, real or BH today at all, or even recently.
I'm about to take my lunch, a little PB sandwich, chips, carrots and milk. Doesn't sound good, but I'll nibble. With a friend and my cell.
Maybe my breakfast just wasn't good for me (week old cinnamon roll).
Re: PR: what do these symptoms mean
Minus the dizziness and baby moving, I'm feeling the same way as you today. Drinking has been helping for me though.
I hope you feel better soon!
This didn't happen to me, but I thought I read somewhere that could be a sign of impending labor? I hope that isn't the case for you and you feel better soon!
I feel this way too...I think it is just a symptom of being (almost) 9 months pregnant!

I've been trying to drink more water too but it upsets my stomach. I've really been drinking a lot of watered down lemonade lately and it seems to hit the spot. Other than that, I've been trying to rest as much as I can especially after a day at work.
Good luck...hang in there!
I would also recommend McDonalds....cheeseburger and a chocolate shake.

Real food does not appeal to me these days!
I don't think I'm dehydrated, I drank plenty of juice for breakfast. My normal amount at least. and I've managed at least half my usual water so far.
I managed to eat some lunch, not a lot, and that helped a bit. Not quite as dizzy. That's a big help.
It could totally be the return of m/s. Awesome. Just what I wanted.
It's the day after my p17 shot (We do them Wed nights), so I usually feel re-energized and "looser" on Thursdays.
I found out at my OB appt that munchkin is head down, so I bet that's part of it.
I'll take it easy at work, and tonight as well and we'll see what happens.
Oh and I just remembered (as I almost tossed my lunch thanks to the progesterone coursing through my body) that sugar and salty things may help. Dizziness can be caused by low blood sugar and/or low blood pressure. Salt helps low blood sugar.
I'm obviously not as far along as you, but have been experiencing the same exact symptoms this week. My OB is guessing its a combo of morning sickness returning (or in my case starting for the first time), third trimester exhaustion a little early, and the position of baby. I know this one is a lot lower so he seems to keep hitting nerves and vessels that make me dizzy, nauseous, overall crappy feeling!
There is also quite a stomach bug making the rounds and it could be a touch of that.
