36 weeks pregnant and...?

You poor lady!! It really sounds like you are having a hard time and I know exactly how you feel with an OB whose a little too laid back. I want my OB to be cool with whatever I want to do but I also want him to be at least a little concerned if/when I bring a problem to the table. If at all possible, a change in OBs (even though the timing sucks with you being so close) might be the best solution. Or, you could be a real pain in the and demand some resolutions before leaving your next appt. Are you able to keep any liquids down? How do you feel about requesting to be induced so you can get baby out before his/her wellbeing is affected by your difficulty with keeping food down? I imagine the sharp pain in your lower right abs is due to throwing up. I had severe coughing a few weeks ago and that's exactly where I hurt - felt like I was pulling a muscle in my uterus. I'm sure you've tried all the standard tricks - ginger tea, ginger snaps, crackers before getting out of bed, etc? I really hope you feel better soon - would hate for you to be too weak to go through labor!
