Rant! My first cold in over a year.

My doctor warned me that while pregnant I would be sponge for everything. Well sure enough I traveled for business and was extending the trip to see a friend I haven't seen in two years and I come down with a stupid cold. Now I am not sure if I should see my friend or hang out at the hotel all day. I don't want to get her kids sick.

  • My doctor warned me that while pregnant I would be sponge for everything.

    Call your friend and ask? Also gage how you feel since taking care of yourself is also important.

  • I agree you should take it easy--I'm finding powering through isn't a sensible option during pregnancy. Can your friend come meet you somewhere nearby?

  • She has kids so she is probably used to it. I know between my two boys, someone is always sniffley. Lol. Call her and let her know but my bet is she won't care.
  • I'm sorry :(.  I woke up this morning with a wickedly sore throat....I know the rest of the cold symptoms are still to follow.  I'd still meet up with your friend.  I agree to call her first, but she probably won't mind as long as you clean your hands and don't get too close.  
    Take care of yourself!

  • I was starting to get stuffy this weekend and by the end of my work day I had to keep blowing my nose! Ugh! Luckily my students were taking a school standardized test on the computer so I got to sit back a lot and not teach but I am doing NOTHING tonight! Hope you are feeling better now!
