pregnant with flu like symptoms
Posted: 07-13-08 05:48am

So I never get sick! I've never had the flu ... and now that I am 40 weeks pregnant I've gotten sick! OF ALL TIMES?!? I woke up this morning with a sore swollen throat its difficult to breath this isn't pregnancy related right? Or just bad luck! Me being sick couldn't harm the baby right? My main worry is being sick whilst in labour(not having enough energy to push). Will the baby catch my cold ... coz colds/flu usually take a couple of days to get over and I am getting induced in 10 days.
