37 weeks aching all over

[shaz1976]

Hi ladies i'm 37 weeks today. Woke up this morning and i'm aching from head to toe! Been number toilet 3 times today which is very unusual for me sorry tmi ! I don't have one ounce of energy, and so much pressure down below!
Is this a sign or have i got the flu??I was induced with my first so nothing took its course naturally and I haven't a clue?
anyone experience something similar and it's early labour xx

Sounds like your body may begetting ready, doesn't mean labour is imminent but probably a better sign than last time needing to be induced.
Going to the loo lots is a classic sign and aching could be everything loosening off.
However, you could have a virus or maybe check a urine sample in at the GP as UTI can be common by this point, would give similar signs. Do you have a high temp?
Hope you feel better/ things progress depending on which! Try to relax and wander round as much as you can and see your midwife if you can esp for urine sample x

Thanks for your reply nappy queen, i'm still aching today but have got a bit of a cold so could be just a combination. No temperature thank god! I think it is just my body saying it's had enough now! keep getting loads of braxton hicks and sciatica in my lower back, oh the joys eh!!
I just hate this part,cause niggle you're thinking is this it? I just hope I shift this aching feeling before I have to face labour as my energy levels are zero !!
