Early labour or just generally poorly

Morning guys

37 weeks and one day. Pregnant woken up really sweaty and headachy and being sick ? Is this a sign that I could be going into labour soon or that I’m just generally poorly?

Congratulations on your pregnancy. To me it sounds like you are unwell but any headaches should be checked out with the midwife as it can be a sign of pre eclampsia. I would contact your maternity department & I hope they can help you good luck xoxo

I was unwell a week with a cold and a half before I gave birth and my cold started like that, nothing to worry about. Headaches could be a that that you are dehydrated but talk to your midwife about them especially they are accompanied by other symptoms of pre-eclampsia. I was told whilst pregnant last summer that when its warm we should be aiming for about 3-4 litres of water whilst pregnant in the summer. (Not all in one go- spread out) x
