I'm 39 wks pregnant - my due date is next Thursday and for the past 3 days, I've been sick with flu symptoms! I have runny/stuffy nose, headaches, a cough that WON'T stop for even 10 minutes, sore throat, both ears ache ~ its making me miserable and I haven't been able to sleep in 3 days!!
I've read somewhere that its possible that this is a pre-labor sign, but I haven't really had anyone else back that up. So.. has anyone been through this or know anyone who has??
My doctor tells me to take a Tylenol and try to cope with it, but Tylenol isn't working! I keep thinking about going into labor within a week or so now (any day!) and that scares me... but it scares me even more to think I'll be feeling the flu AND labor pains at the same time!!! I need to get over this ASAP!
Pleaseee someone tell me that you've been in this situation and somehow got over it BEFORE your baby was born! This is so terribly annoying and making me want to cry.. but there's nothing I can do to stop it?
