Also my throat is very sore to swallow and i barley have an appitite for food. Is labour close? and should i see my doctor about feeling unwell... Laura x
Welcome to Chat Doctor .1. You are having general symptoms as seen normally in the late pregnancy period.2. Now concern is what discharges you are experiencing, for which you have to get an ultrasound scan done, and find out the conniption of the AFI (water level) and the fetal wellbeing.3. At this time nothing much one can do for back pain, only painkillers which are allowed in pregnancy.4. You need to visit your treating doctor and get some antibiotics for the throat infection which you are experiencing (as a remedy salt water gargling would help to some extent)Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you.
