How To Treat Dizziness,headache,nausea During 36 Weeks Pregnancy?

Hi, my name is Tammy, I'm 36 week's and 2 day's pregnant, and a few hours ago I felt really crappy, it started with feeling dizzy off and on all day, then a headache, then I started feeling sick like I was going to puke, then I started getting heat flashes, then I started shaking, it lasted about 2 hours, give or take, after a while I took a poop (sorry for too much information) and it was loose, but not diareah, which is weird because before today I have been constipated, so I guess my question is could this be a sign that labor is near, or is it normal?

Hello Tammy and welcome.

I liked the movie naned after you. :)

Well your symptoms are related to a hormonal surge and also your bowel habits are bound to change as the growing uterus has an effect on the surrounding organs by applying pressure on it. This causes intermittent constipation and/or diarrhea. Labor is of course close, but there are no definite signs to indicate it other than cervical dilation as of now.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
