Giving birth with a cold

I am 39+4 days. After about 3 months of my toddler not catching anything she came down with a cold a few days ago. Now I can feel it coming on. My biggest fear has been giving birth with a cold, i don't know how I will have the energy to do it if I am feeling unwell. Has anyone done it before?

My daughter blessed me and my husband with a sickness bug. Both ends all day led to labour starting 10 days early šŸ˜…. What I will say is your body has a funny way of knowing when it needs to get the job done. Although running on NOTHING and then giving birth wasn’t the one, all symptoms stopped, I gave birth and then they came back.. it’s like your body knows and just pulls through!

It’s just such an anxious time without having to throw germs into the mix 🦠
