37 weeks and husbands shared his flu 😩

I’m so upset, my husband went away last week and instead of bringing me a gift he brought me back the flu. I’m already heavily pregnant and running after my toddler, but now I’m sick as dog 🤧😷

If I go into labour when sick I’m not sure how I’ll manage. This feels like I’ll need a week in bed to recover kind of illness, and I just don’t have the assistance to be able to do that.

Any other moms in a similar position? Any tips and tricks?

Sorry you're feeling so rubbish. I had a horrible stomach bug followed by a horrible cold and it just saps your energy doesn't it 😞 obviously not an exact science but I have heard you're less likely to go into labour when ill as oxytocin is low and you naturally haven't got that 'safe place' feeling

Well that’s somewhat of a relief to hear, so hopefully no labour until all is well. I just have to make it until then 😩🫣
