What Are The Symptoms Of Labor?
Hi, I am 39 weeks and 4 days pregnant with my first pregnancy. For two days i have been getting light period cramps, Yesterday i saw my doctor and she gave me a sweep, she said my cervix is posterior and she could only get one finger in. This morning i woke up with some flu symptoms, blocked nose, dry cough and sore throat. My left ear and nostril are quite blocked and sore, feels as though there is pressure in both my ear and nostril. Is this a sign labour could be close or of something serious?

Hello,
Welcome to this forum.
These are not labor symptoms as you have described them.
This could be a flu or any other viral illness infecting your upper respiratory tract.
While in labour; you should have pain abdomen or back pain intermittently, along with discharge or bleeding per vagina.
Sincerely
Dr Sanjoy
