Sickness in late pregnancy is not an uncommon thing. Sickness with just a short time before you should give birth is actually a very often thing to many pregnant women.
Is this sickness different from morning sickness? Can you think of anything you may have eaten which could have upset you? Do you feel feverish and generally unwell? Any pains in your abdomen?
Women get minor illnesses such as coughs, colds and stomach during pregnancy as at any other time in their lives and could think that is due to this new thing called sickness in late pregnancy. However, if you think that your sickness may be due to something out of the ordinary, and certainly if you have any abdominal pain, go to see your doctor and ask for his or her advice. If you do not feel well enough to go to the surgery, make a call and ask for advice or make a request for a home visit. Do not be put off if the receptionist is not very helpful; be clear that you want to speak to or see the doctor or midwife. This is your body and your baby that you are worried about.
Sickness in late pregnancy can also come in a form of a headache. Do you normally get headaches? Have you got spots before your eyes? Does your vision seem to be affected by your headache? Have you got pains in the top half of your abdomen?
Pregnancy is definitely stressful. You may find that you suffer from tension headaches and need to make time to relax, enjoy a bath, go out with your partner or friends, or treat yourself. Sometimes very bad headaches may be a symptom of a disease of pregnancy called Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH) or pre-eclampsia. If you have spots before your eyes and pain in the upper part of your abdomen, you should call your doctor or midwife immediately.
