3rd Trimester

Did you have flu like symptoms prior to labor?

I was just wondering if anyone experienced flu like symptoms prior to their labor starting? I have been feeling sooooo out of it since yesterday, and feel like I am getting sick but not really sick, if that makes sense. I have been having headaches (Bp is perfect though), loss of appetite, chills/hot flashes, body aches, nausea, and diarrhea/loose stools (so sorry for the TMI), as well as feeling like a totally space case. I'm at work and can't even concentrate on anything right now.

Re: Did you have flu like symptoms prior to labor?

  • With DD I thought I had a severe stomach bug (vomitting, loose stool), and when I checked into the hospital for monitoring because I couldn't hold anything down I found out I was in active labor. I thought I was there to get some I.V. Fluids, and I ended up having a baby 9 hours later. Good Luck!

  • I too have had nausea and other flu like symptoms for the past couple of days.  I guess I am just hoping this is a sign labor may be on the way.

  • I have felt like that lately--not sure what it is.

    If I feel the flu coming on though I swear by that oscicillium--safe for pregnancy--I just take 1 vial and I swear it works.  Sometimes I'll follow up with a second--but I usually take it at night and I'll feel better by morning.  Weird.

    I had this on Saturday of last week- I thought I was coming down with a bug. I started having contractions but they did stop when I went to bed that night. I am hoping and praying that this baby comes soon but I would love a few more days. I am still around and the loose stool has gotten better but I am still a little bit of a case!

  • Thanks for the input ladies. I am still not feeling well, but it kind of comes and goes now. No one is sick at home, or in my office, so I don't know what this is but it sucks. I think if I am still like this tomorrow I will be calling my OB. Been having BH today too, not a ton of them though and they don't hurt. Just wish I knew what was going on.
  • Your body cleans itself out prior to labor so many times you'll feely pretty yucky before going into active labor. I remember with my first I would wake up in the middle of the night for about a week just not feeling well before I had my son. Good luck! :o)

  • I'm not as far along as you, but I just wanted to let you know that I am just now getting over a horrible GI virus. Extreme diarrhea, chills, headache, achey-ness, and an "out of it" feeling. Still today I am super tired, and this started on Saturday. My OB office told me it's very common for this type of virus to make the rounds in early spring. I didn't have any contractions though, and drank a ton of water/Gatorade. I'd call you doctor just to give them a heads up. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

  • Oh boy, or girl in my case...I have been wondering the same thing and hoping its not a precursor to labor since I am only 35 weeks along. I have been feeling like I am coming down with the flu and have been super tired, then yesterday I went to the bathroom (#2, sorry TMI) about 6 times and woke up around 2:30am with stomach cramps and severe diaherrea. I have been wondering if I should call my midwife. I just hope its a bug.
