I've never hadd this, haven't really heard of it either. Could you have caught a bug?

It can happen not long before labour starts, a lot of people get the runs instead. Its your bodies way of clearing out.

yeh sickness or the runs are signs of your body preparing for labour. when i was induced i didnt feel any contractions or pains for the first few hours but i did feel very sick and couldnt keep anything i had eaten down.

good luck hun and happy due date.

I was sick all the way through both of my labours (and I had the runs beforehand). Yes, it can be your body's way of clearing everything out, but you might have a bug, or just be really hyped up because you know it should be today.

Whatever the reason, just make sure you keep hydrated with plenty of drinks and try to have glucose-type sports drinks if you can, to keep up your energy for labour.

Try and rest and much as possible and enjoy your last moments of "freedom" for a while

Ooooh, how exciting that you're full-term! Good luck and I hope you get to meet your baby very soon.
