Cold and flu

I think I had Covid in my week 5-6, it really knocked me out but I pulled through!! Unfortunately we aren’t going to be able to completely avoid getting ill especially this time of the year, just have to keep up with the paracetamol and natural remedy drinks x

I’m so ill right now Too with cold / flu and it’s completely wiping me, had it 4 or 5 days and still can’t shift it - I’m 4 weeks worried too😢 but I had an awful sickness bug with my 2nd baby at about 36 weeks pregnant and she was totally fine so they’re well protected in there x

Try and drink plenty of water and stay hydrated even if you can't eat.
Also try and keep up with the folic acid and vitamin D.
I had flu at 4 months in my first pregnancy and I'm very susceptible to illness due to a weak immune system and was told to make sure just to stay hydrated.
Also if you're happy to, try and get the flu jab now. Would protect you against anything down the line.

I've had 'plane flu' after getting back from holiday. Started at 4wks and I'm now 6 and a half and still have a cough. I rang the midwife in a panic and she reassured me that baby will be fine, to focus on getting myself healthy again. I however am now fitting the last of it off with a pulled muscle in my ribs and nausea 🙃
