39 weeks - cold has put a stop to developments

hi

im 39 weeks tomorrow and baby is fully engaged. On Monday I started to get on/off period type cramps and increased Braxton Hicks. Ive been running to the toilet to poo every hour (not liquid just my body emptying itself) and I thought labour may be just around the corner. However this morning I woke up at 5am with a horrible cough, earache and a runny nose - normally I would just take something and put up with it!

not only do I feel like sh*t a week before I'm due - all my other symptoms seem to have stopped completely.

anyone else had this? I've been reading other posts that apparently your body won't let you go into labour unless you're well. Interesting thought?!
