Sick?

Okay a little background. 39+4 had my membranes swept 2 days ago. Woke up this morning to a huge amount of mucus.  Since then I've been weak, nauseous, dizzy,  and shaking. I've also been having shortness of breath and coughing. Could this be a normal almost labor thing or does it sound more like I'm getting sick?

Good luck I hope you feel better before you start contractions because I couldn't imagine going thru labour and feeling like that too!
