I woke up this morning feeling bad and haven't been able to shake it. There is no one symptom I can pinpoint. I don't think I'm having any contractions, or if I am I'm not noticing them. My belly hurts though. Every time the baby moves it hurts. I have no appetite at all. I ate breakfast this AM about 8 and couldn't finish it and have had nothing since, it's about 1 PM here now. I know I should be drinking, but I can't even bring myself to do that at this point.

I did take a bath and felt better as long as I was on one side or the other, but once I got out I was right back to feeling like crap. I have an appt tomorrow with my MW but should I call her today? Any advice??

first off, you should for sure call if you think you need to!! - that's what she's paid for

that said my first thought be just you're fighting off a cold or flu.

secondly perhaps blood pressure (have you ever had any issues with BP?)

and thirdly anemia. How you feel is very common for people with Anemia (I know from personal experience!). I would try taking some chlorophyl... and eating some meat or an egg if you can. see if you pep up. I also find it helpful to eat meat AND a leafy green at the same time - better iron absorption - and a quicker pick you up. be sure to add plenty of sea salt too... all of those work together for the body. the iron and the salt. the salt will help you absorb the water you're drinking (as odd as it sounds).

sorry if I'm being confusing... let me know if I should clarify!

if none of this helps, or you start to feel worse, make sure you call your midwife for her thoughts ok?

Thanks. I've had a few contractions I think. They aren't all over, just in one area right around my belly button. Whatever they are, they hurt. It's a very sharp pain that lasts for a few moments then goes away. I did lay down for a while and it really didn't help, so I think I am off to call. I will try to eat something though.
