34 weeks - feeling off and vomiting

[chody47]

I'm just over 34 weeks pregnant and have been feeling a bit off today.

Firstly I was out shopping when suddenly I felt very dizzy, sweaty, lightheaded and I noticed my hands were shaking. I put it down to being in a crowded environment and being hungry and sat down and had a drink and some lunch and felt a bit better after that.

This afternoon I started feeling refluxy (nothing new for me recently). I took a bit of mylanta and felt a bit better after that.

This evening I wasn't feeling awfully hungry but organised my dinner anyway and half-way through eating it I suddenly felt sick, rushed to the toilet and vomited quite a bit. About half an hour later I felt refluxy again and vomited another small amount.

So I'm wondering, had anyone else had anything like this happen at this stage of their pregnancy or do you think it may not be pregnancy related at all?

(for what it's worth, this is the first time I've vomited all pregnancy)

It sounds to me like you have a stomach bug or a touch of the flu. Try to rest, take some panadol and lots of fluids. If you start to feel any worse, or if you notice any tightenings (even if they are not very painful) or any unusual discharge then contact the hospital, but in the absence of that it's probably just rotten timing for a bug to hit you. Hope you feel better soon.
