cold/flu like symptoms before labor?

Nope, never was true for me.

i know that i get sicker when i am pregnant. but i think that is common in most pregnant women to be more susceptible to colds and flus. i haven't heard that about a week before you go into labor. you could always ask your dr

My nose was stuffy for months when I was pregnant. It's a common problem that doctors warn not to treat with antihistamines and nose sprays.

But symptoms of being actually sick isn't a sign of labor. You probably actually have a cold or the flu if you're having a sore throat. Nausea is from the flu or could just be your hormones again (like early in your pregnancy.)

never heard of that before. weird.

The only flu symptom I had was diarrhea and feeling tired- But my doc said it was just a way for your body to clear out before labor.

Two days before I had my son I got very achy and nauseous and threw up. After some rest, I felt better, but then labor started so it was only sort of okay. I had trouble eating anything the next couple of days, which cost me some energy during labor. I haven't heard too many other stories of other women having these problems with labor, but I have heard some. I'm still not sure if it was labor, or the flu. Guess we'll find out with the next one?
