Labor????

I need advice bad. I'm 39+6 weeks today. My doctor strip my membranes yesterday. Today I feel like crap. I have flu like symptoms. I have chills and its 62 outside. My whole body aches, especially my back and shoulders. Is this from being in labor or close to being in labor?

I'd call. You don't feel flu symptoms normally when you go into labor. You may feel cramps and discomfort, but not flu like symptoms. Good luck!

Try a warm bath. It will sooth you and take your mind off the sick feeling. Good luck. I had mine stripped with my first. Went into labor that night after a warm bath. :)
