Not a fan of this third trimester malarkey! Woke up with strong cramps, nausea and the urge to poo as though I have a bug. Thrown up twice in the toilet and it’s bright orange? and have severe heartburn now. Is this all normal stuff? Still having braxton hicks every few hours and I lost some mucus the other day. Is this just standard third trimester fun and games?

I would contact your midwife just to be on the safe side - sounds horrific! I'm sorry you're experiencing this. For the heartburn definitely try Gaviscon and any yoghurt. Both work a treat for me, and I've had bad heartburn since the beginning x

i would definitely contact triage or your midwife just to be on the safe side.
although, these symptoms are very similar to what i’m experiencing too.
i only had Braxton Hicks for one day, but lasted 8/9 hours. every day i wake up in discomfort, feeling like i’m going to throw up or faint. it’s not pleasant 🥲

Please contact your midwife or triage, I did for strong cramps that weren’t braxtons and got told I’m at risk of pre term labour, so I’m literally on reduced movements, workload etc until baby decides it’s his birthday.
I remember having orange throw up and losing mucus with my daughter, as my heartburn was like fire with her and the mucus can be hormonal or a sign of strep B (very common and treatable if it is).
Third trimester isn’t much fun, I always feel you’re at your worst when you give birth as your body is getting tired. Rest where you can, be kind to yourself ❤️
