Could Vomiting And Diarrhea Be Symptoms Of Early Labor?
Hi Im 35 +5 pregnant and have been experiencing severe vomiting and diarrhea for almost 24 hours. I have an appointment with the midwife tomorrow afternoon, should I wait untill then or does it sound like I could be going into labour early? This is my fourth baby.

Hi, thank you for the query.
I understand your concerns your concerns
Vomiting and diarrhea are not really signs of labour nor do they predict imminent labour. With this presentation, I think you may be having intestinal infection. I would advise you try oral rehydration and if the vomiting or diarrhea persists, you see a doctor for proper assessment and testing.
I hope that helps
I wish you well
