Did you feel flu/cold like symptoms prior to labor?

Yes! I did

@Parker what did you feel? How soon did you go into labor?

I’ve been nesting allllll day!! And I’ve had prodromal contractions for last few weeks.

I started feeling like flu/cold I think about 4 days before I had her. But I went into labor a day before having her.

@Wolfie I’ve heard of those prodromal contractions. I honestly questioned if I was in labor or not all the way until I was in active labor. I think I was maybe 7 or 8 centimeters by then.

@Josephine wow! Congrats!! Thank you for your help!

@Josephine how many days did you feel the cold symptoms? I felt fine during the day but I’m starting to feel a lil yucky again?!

@Wolfie I think it was about 2 days that I felt flu/cold like symptoms. The other 2 days were me more so being annoyed, tired, and uncomfortable. I also kept having to pee little drops of pee like every 30 minutes or so.

@Wolfie you’re so welcome!

@Josephine that’s me right now, lol

@Wolfie any update? Any more contractions?

@Josephine it all went away! Slight lingering cold symptoms tho, slowly (very slowly) still loosing mucus plug. I did have a few contractions randomly throughout the day today but nothing back to back. 🥴 I did have a burst of energy today also and was able to get some stuff done. I’m hoping for a few more energy days. I want to cook & freeze my favorite thanksgiving meals ahead of time. I love thanksgiving and will be so sad if I don’t get thanksgiving on thanksgiving. (I’m gluten free/dairy free so it’s hard to rely on others to cook for me the way I like and need, lol 😅🥴😂) Thank you so much checking on me!!

Congratulations Mama! I’m praying for a healthy and safe delivery for both you and baby! How are you doing? Have you been able to get you something cooked and frozen? Oh you’re so welcome! I know it can get really lonely, and people tend to forget to check on us mothers. The baby is just too cute to focus on the mom, but we still need it.
