I have heard rumors that flu symptoms mean you are about to go into labor, does anyone know if this is true?

Two nights ago I woke up feeling like I have to throw up, ever since I have just been really nauseated.

I am 39 weeks pregnant. this is my second pregnancy, and I am 3cm dilated and 25% effaced. Being induced Monday if I do not go into labor before then.

I didnt have any flu symptoms before I went into labor. the only thing I had was a back ache that wouldnt go away, I didnt realize it was labor till my water broke.
But all women are different, but check with your doctor just in case. If you do have the flu they may want to keep a eye on you to make sure you dont get dehydrated. good luck!

Nope. I had the flu then out-and-out pneumonia when I was pregnant with my daughter. I was sick about a month before she was born…and I actually had even *less* false-labor stuff happen after being sick than I'd had before. She was born by pre-planned c-section, too, and–for a ton of medical reasons (not related to the flu or pneumonia as this was planned months before)–was born 3 weeks early.

It can, but i got sick like the flue or a cold at least three times while i was pregnant. I had bronchittis when i had my son. I think its just your bodys way of saying that its tired.

I never had flu like symptoms when I was pregnant with my kids. when I was sick it was just sickness not me going into labor, but maybe some people do get sick.

Yes, this is true. Some people feel really sick to their stomachs when labor is approaching.
