Everyone in my house is sick! C-Section on Monday

Ok ladies - best ways to get rid of colds? In a jiffy?
My husband, 5-yr-old & teens all have a cold. I have the beginning of a cold but it's been kept at bay (so far). Hubby got antibiotics from our pcp bc generally were healthy & she felt like it couldn't hurt given the circumstance. I hate to put the kids on antibiotics that may not even help. Of course rest, fluids, chicken soup....any other ideas? My c-section is Monday....

    Lysol the whole house! Honestly not much except great hand hygiene, rest, push fluids. Good luck. Everyone in our house is just getting over a cold so I'm with you.

    Oh I feel you! Everyone has caught the throwing up bug in my house and I'm isolated in a room so I don't get it!
    Just wash your hands constantly and drink loads of water, I'd say stay away but know that isn't always possible!
    Hope things clear up in your house!

    Can you take Echinacea while pregnant? Maybe see what your doctor says, as I feel it really helps keeps colds at bay. And drinking lots of water as pp said.

    I've got a sick kiddo today, too :( My 2 year old. She fell asleep on my lap this morning and she hasn't done that since she was teeny tiny. She slept for about 30 minutes and fever went to 102, but she'd been crying, too, which could make it go up a bit. We finally got some Tylenol in her and now we're watching Cinderella.

    @redfallon it's lousy! Poor thing. I hope her fever gets better. I wish we could just live in a bubble for a bit - just a few weeks even!

    She's better today. Back to her normal happy goofy self, although she still has a temp around 99. Makes me happy to see her like this! <3

    My three year old threw up on me last night and has a fever today....I'm 38+4. With my luck I'll probably get sick too. I'm a little worried. I just can't stop cuddling and comforting him. I'm doomed.

    Wash hands constantly is all you can do I guess.

    I will say - we are now 5 days pp. my son is still congested. But so far dd is healthy as can be. I attribute bf. Also dh has really stepped up his game with our son so I'm not pulling double duty - thank goodness.
    Hope everyone feels better soon! This is a tough time of year to be pregnant / postpartum.

    Everyone in my house is either sick or getting sick. My MIL even had a case of C. Diff a week ago and they have no idea where it came from, so it's got me completely paranoid. SO refused to get tested so we don't even know if she's the only person in the house with C. Diff. I worked in the nursing home and four residents all had it at the same time and they wouldn't even let me in the same room. How am I supposed to feel now? :( I hope your c section goes smoothly and wishing your family gets well. :)

    My husband and I both got sick the day after LO was born. It's was bad for 3 days. But in the mend. Didn't have a cold or flu my entire pregnancy! Then when it really mattered I was totally sick. But made it through.
