Anyone get sick easier after having LO?

I used to get sick once a year max.. But after I had DD, I got sick in July, got the flu two weeks ago came and gone in 2 days and now I have a horrible cold.

I am not used to being sick all the time.. And I think it's my overall health that's deteriorated after having LO, maybe a new mom overworking herself!

Anyone else notice that with themselves after having kids?

  • My husband and I are just getting over the first colds we've had in 2.5 years!

  • Yep, I'm sick alllll the time. To the point my GP has said its likely just additional exposure to germs from DS's daycare but she wants to run tests on my immune system if I get 2 more infections this year.

  • yes.  I catch everything she brings home from daycare, I just assumed it was due to more exposure!

  • As PPs said, it may have to do with the additional exposure.  LO doesn't go to DC and I've only had 1 cold in the last year which is average for me.
