Is a runny nose a sign of labor?

I'm totally joking of course...

But does anyone else feel like they are super sensitive to every little movement and pain thinking they're going into labor? The suspense is KILLING me!! When will it happen?!?!

I swear this is worse than TTC, when I thought every little thing I felt meant I was pregnant...

Re: Is a runny nose a sign of labor?

  • Yeah, that's essentially the reason why I started my maternity now using my own personal leave time.

    I'm hoping if I have time to just sit and relax, I won't have to over-analyze and i can just hang out with my little son...while I still can!

  • Yes! And its been even worse because I am working from home and don't have THAT much work to actually do. I've been pretty fatigued the last few days, so I try to get out of the house for a bit and then work for a few hours, but inevitably now I end up spending hours every day thinking about when labor will start, googling signs of labor, googling how to naturally induce labor, and hanging out on the bump.
  • I started my maternity leave today, and I'm not due til next Thursday. I'm screwed. Now he's going to come 2 weeks late and I have nothing to do at home but sit and be paranoid. I need a hobby.
  • I was like "is she really asking if a runny nose is a labor sign?...." LOL!

    I started my maternity leave Dec 16.  Joke's on me bc here I am a month later, officially overdue, twiddling my thumbs.  

    Come onnnnn baby!

    LOL I must admit I was a little inspired by the 3rd Tri board... it gets somewhat ridiculous on there at times. :) I've stopped reading posts there.

    I can't imagine being home for a month! I'd go insane!!! I'm crossing my fingers for all of us! They're coming soooooon! 

  • You mean sneezing isn't a sign that I'm having my baby today?? :P

    I do admit I'm tired of those kind of threads on 3rd trimester, but at the same time I'm second guessing every time my back hurts or my body has a BH.  I have to remind myself of the crazy birth stories where things sorta all happened at once to remember that even signs I think should indicate labor could just be sleep deprivation or something.

  • Feeling the same way as everyone mentioned. Every twinge and tweak I have felt in the last week has gotten me thinking, "is this it?".  Sigh.  No maternity leave for me until January 24th. Going to enjoy the long weekend and then power through another week of middle school teaching. My seventh graders have assured me that they have a plan for getting the school nurse..haha!
