Feel horrible, could mean labor is right around the corner???

Today I have felt horrible. I am 35 weeks and I am nauseous all the time, can't get comfortable, I get sick if I don't eat but feel even worse after eating, have horrible hot flashes, and have a lot of discomfort in my back (not like the normal aches and pains, it's hard to describe). I'm back to feeling like I did in the beginning with hyperemesis, but worse. I know that you feel bad at the end because the baby is taking up so much room inside but some people have told me this could be the early signs of labor. Just wondering if anyone else has ever heard of this being signs of labor or if any moms went through this right before they went into labor? This came on so suddenly that I have a feeling it is not just normal end of pregnancy discomfort.

I'm also 35 weeks and have been going through just about the same thing since yesterday. I was up all night with horrible lower back pain and leg/groin pain. I can't get comfortable and I'm soooo moody today. I have yelled at everyone today for no reason. Not to mention I have been having (I think) braxton hicks that hurt like crazy and lots of pressure and pain in my cervix. Oh it would be so wonderful if I could just have this baby. I know everyone hates being around me right now cause all I do is complain or cry. Ugh.

I just saw that the full moon is this weekend . . . I'm not superstitious at all but I know way too many people that have had their babies on a full moon! It is also some kind of special full moon so it is much larger than usual. I'm definitely having Braxton Hicks constantly, but they aren't painful so far and I'm having lots of pressure but I don't think the baby has dropped much at all. I'm not sure I'm ready just yet, but I don't think I can handle feeling like this for 5 more weeks either! This is my first and I'm due April 23rd, when are you due?

Well congrats on your first. I am due April 24th and this is my 5th. All boys. Lol. My youngest is 12 months old and the way I feel is the same when I was in labor with him. I can't do this for 5 more weeks. I will throw a fit. Its getting way to hard on my body and I'm still young. Lol. Well let's hope that the full moon will put us in labor. Lol

Wow, 5 boys!! My cousin has 4 girls and 1 boy (the youngest). You could hear her scream all over the entire hospital when they told her the last one was a boy, she was so excited to finally have someone to help balance out all of those hormones, haha!! Congrats to you as well, do you think you will have more after this baby? I want a big family but I'm not sure it is in the cards, this baby was a complete surprise because I have fertility issues and only part of my cervix (and I'm pretty sure this pregnancy could go on record as the worst ever). Keep me posted when you have yours, hoping the full moon works for you!! [-O<

No this is the last baby. I have 3 from a previous marriage and then my husband and I have 2 together. This one was a complete surprise. I would love to have more children but I had a blood clot that traveled into the lung and now I am taking a blood thinner everyday to keep me from having another one so its a lot of works and very stressful on not only baby but me also. I hope the full moon works for both of us. Lol. You will have to keep me posted on your little bundle of joy also.
