Did anyone feel like this just before labour?

[nearlythere!]

Hello everyone, I am currently 38 wks + 3 days with my first baby. I have a good pregnancy, with no morning sickness, normal blood pressure etc.

However for the last 4-5 days I have started with really bad nausea 24/7 and some vomiting. I am off food, only really wanting biscuits and toast. I have been feeling generally crappy, my body is aching, having headaches and feeling very sore in the pelvic region. This is compared to last week when I had my burst of energy and ended up decorating the living room!!

I have also been suffering with some swelling, my feet get so huge they dont fit in shoes and when I wake on a morning my face is huge and my eyes are puffy. Went to the dctors yesterday and had my BP and urine checked to make sure no signs of pre-eclampsia. They were normal, but I am seeing midwife tomorrow to be on safe side.

My question is, did anyone else feel like this at the end? And how soon after did your labour start.... thanks

I didnt have anything like that with my others but everyone is different!
Im glad your getting a second opinion though about the swelling! That cant be normal!?!
