38 weeks and sick!

iloboh · November 2009

Mostly a whine.

So I'm 38 weeks and 3 days pregnant meaning that I could go into labor whenever, and I'm SO sick. I was sore and uncomfortable before this and complaining a little. Now that I'm sick I'm feeling 10 times worse. I feel hot, am hacking up phlem (sorry TMI), sore throat, and my lower back and hips make it impossible to sleep! Grrr. I was worried about this when my daughter got sick last weekend. Now I just want to be healthy and comfortable!

What can I do to get out of this horrible negative mind set?

Also, did anyone ever have a cold during delivery?

I really don't want to scare you, but you need to go to the doc especially if you are running a fever because it could be H1N1. Those were my exact same symptoms. If you get the tamiflu in time then you will start feeling better almost immediately. I hope you feel better soon.

ditto you need to call your doctor if you have a fever. I just got treated for H1N1 this past week. Started out with a cough, sniffly nose, got really tired and achy all over then a fever. I called the doctor and he had me take Tylenol at first to bring down the fever and had Tamiflu called in for the next day.

I am feeling much better now and I only one days worth of meds left to take. I am sorry you are sick. I was terrified I would go into labor earlier this week knowing I barely had the strength to walk across the house. Hoping the baby stays put and you feel better.

Thanks to both. Fortunately this really was just an annoying cold. My LO waited till I was feeling much better. Luckily my cold made little impact to delivering naturally. Madison and I are doing well
