38 weeks pregnant and flu symptoms. Is this early labor?
Last nite it started about 9 pm. i started getting a sore throat and small cough. I took my temp and it was slightly higher but not bad. Then I started getting the chills and shivering. I don't feel nauseas, but today I still feel the same way and still have an appetite. I have also noticed slight leaking (not sure what it is though), the past few days about 3 times a day. It's clear, a little gooey as well as having soft stool the past 2 days. OH an my back is killing me non stop but no severe contractions. Could this be early labor signs or just a virus.
Oh one last thing. I had a small white nodule pop up last nite on my labia. It is just sore to touch but not burning or anything. anyone had that before? Or just one of those weird pregnancy things.

When I was in labor with my first child, I didn't have contractions... I had a terrible back ache though. It sounds to me like you should call you OB and tell them your symptoms... could be that you are in labor and the leaking feeling could be amniotic fluid.

Hi, I think it sounds a bit like early stages of labor, with the leaking and back pain, but the chills and shivering don't seem to fit in with that, unless as already said you've got a virus, didn't either doctor want to check you out? If your leaking turns to a browny colour that's definitely a "show" and is the start of labor. Re the nodule, could be a hair follicle or that your run down with the possible virus. Sorry I can't give a definite answer, I'm only going from my own experience. Hope it helps.

I've had 2 children (vaginally) and I'm currently expecting my 3rd at 28wks. I think you should really call your doc or MW if you haven't done so. Is the leak thin or thick? You need to make sure that it is not amniotic fluid what's leaking.
I hav never experienced any flu-like symptoms but I know soft stools are common. Also I'm not sure about your increase in temp and that lump you described.
I really, really recommend you call your practitioner.

Yes, I think you are starting to go into labor, but this could last a number of days. Good luck!
