ok sorry TMI but since last tues ive had the runs - so im up to day 6 of it. i called the midwife last friday and she said to put my feet up and rest for the weekend???? (the normal midwife is on hols so this is a stand in one) i really dont feel 100% have a OB appoit on wed tho, any idea if this is normal or should i call them again??? I dont want to pester them....

Oh Reggie I hope you are feeling better soon! I personally would probably go see the doctor as you don't want to risk being dehydrated. You could try calling health direct line as it is free over the phone consult with a registered nurse just to get a second opinion.

thanks ellie think i might just go see my GP hey and leave the OB til wednesday im probably stressing over nothing.. im drinking heaps of water tho so i think thts all fine - just would love to know whats going on! a week is such a long time! specially since i was constipated pretty much all the way up until now haha

I think thats the best idea as this isn't "normal" for you... clearly hahaa I guess the other thing is, I believe it is quite common (it happened to me) that your body does a clean out leading up to going into labour. Although I would have thought given it has been going a week this wouldn't be the case. Let us know how you go.
