Weak and dizzy could be from a protein and iron deficiency. Try eating a lot of meat, or if you don't like that then you could try a bunch of spinach salad for iron and some form of beans for your protein. Also make VERY sure you're getting plenty of water. Dizziness can also be from dehydration, and the 'runs' will certainly dehydrate you!
It does sound like you're getting close, but remember to take care of youself, too!

YEP. That is exactly how I was in early labour with my third. I didn't know it, though, and laboured that way for two days at home because I didn't know. I would recommend staying home until you progress a bit farther unless you want to be "hooked" up to the machines a lot longer.
I slept a lot, drank a lot of water and ginger ale. I also had conversations with my relatives that I don't remember because they called me while I was still sleepy and out of it. I went and saw a movie and walked around the mall a bit (not knowing I was already in labour), but just felt really sick and tired and dizzy. I kept having to sit down and then run to the loo. After about a day of the yellow stuff, I had a show but didn't realize what it was. BEST WISHES!!!

Im due saturday to have my baby. I have always been told that if you have any discharge that is not white or clear you need to let the doctor know or go to the hospital , that is what my doctor said. I suggest you make a call to the doctor or head over to the hospital. There's nothing wrong with making sure baby is fine so don't ever be scared or embarrassed to go.

Sounds like your mucous plug starting to come out...which is the beginning. But, I would call in and report the dizziness as that is not normal.

yellow stuff call the dr. when you have contractions try and figure out how much time is inbetween them let the doc know and the doc will tell you what to do next. don't wait to call call now you don't want to put yourself in danger. GOOD LUCK
