Flu like symptoms HELP

I'm 32 weeks and 2 days. The past few days I've been having episodes of flu like symptoms. Has anyone else had these and then gone into labor, if so how long after the symptoms did you go into labor? I also had preterm contractions at 25 weeks and then again at 31 weeks that needed to be stopped. Now I'm a finger tip dialted already.

Often flu like symptoms happen within the weeks before labor, but they aren't indicative of it necessarily being imminent. That said, with your history of preterm labor, I'd keep an eye on them.
What symptoms are you experiencing? Make sure if your body is "cleaning itself out" that you are taking in a bunch of water to replace any you would have lost. If you get dehydrated, labor could start.
