Why!!! Getting a cold and feeling miserable. How can I protect her from it other than staying away? I'm sooooo tired.

    I'm 40+2 and came down with a cold today. I'm dreading the idea of going into labor this way but I'm trying to flush it out. Plenty of fluids and vitamin C. Also, I read that if you're breastfeeding, the antibodies you make get passed to the baby and can help protect them from whatever you have.
