Hi,

I am about to go into labour anyday (well I think I am, but guess it could still be a few weeks)

My DD had a gastro bug that lasted all last week and I was panicked about catching it, but hubby and i were lucky and were fine. Then today my DD wakes up with a chesty cough and sore throat - SERIOUSLY WHY NOW???? She has been healthy for months!

So my question is what happens if I am in labour while being sick? I reckon labour is hard enough and exhausting without being sick - and what about the baby will he get sick since I may give birth with all the germs in my system?

I know I am pre-empting getting sick and may not happen, but am very worried and already feeling like a sore throat may be coming on (but maybe its me imagining it?)
