Temperature drop before labor? Crazy?

This may be completely nuts, but has anyone heard that there may be a drop in your body temperature before you go into labor?  It would make sense since your progesterone level drops (for those of you who charted, just like at the start of your period), but I have never heard it come up except in reference to dogs :-)  If there was any semblance of truth it would have at least made the list of old wive's tales, right?  

I might test it for kicks.

  • After I had my epidural I got FREEZING COLD. My teeth were chattering and they had about 4 warming blankets on me. They said it's totally normal.

  • As far as I know, your progesterone won't drop significantly until the placenta is delivered. That is what triggers your body to start producing milk. So I don't think that your temperature dropping would signify impending labor.
