Can anyone offer me some advice?

I'm 36 weeks with my DS. Up until earlier this week I have had no morning sickness (to which I'm extremely grateful). But I've started getting sick this week. I'm not nauseous when it happens, but I'm also having these pains in my stomach which feel like a gall bladder attack (mine was removed) or like someone had knocked the wind out of me. It's been days, I can't sleep. The doctor says its normal. My DS is rather large already (7 pounds at 35 weeks).

Has anyone ever experienced this? And if so, is there anything I can do to help ease the pain? I can barely lean forward without cringing.

Thanks!

Well I have not personaly experianced it.....BUT.........last year my friend from work had the same thing happen at the end of her pregnancy. Her Dr. told her it was because the baby was so big (born at just over 10 lbs.). He was pressing on her stomach so much that each time she ate, she would throw up. She had this problem the last 4 weeks or so. She had to eat very small amounts to help it.....sometimes that worked sometimes it didn't.


Hope you feel better!
