    My sister has swine flu & is wearing masks constantly. At home & out. They are trying to avoid mum getting it as she runs her own cafe & serves alot of older people.
    I've seen alot of people wear them just as a precaution. I haven't been assuming people wearing them have swine flu, just that they are being careful.
    It might be a good idea being pg though.

    Eeek, I have been stressing about this a bit the last couple of days too.
    I tried to do my shopping online this morning but can't get it delivered until tomorrow... not soon enough I'm afraid

    Serenity I'm exactly the same re feeling like a dill. The other day at the hosp for antenatal there was one woman wearing a mask, no-one else and I wondered then whether I could do it without feeling.... a bit weird?

    DD has a dance comp on Saturday... I have decided not to do the all-day thing...I'll just go & watch her section bugger

    ETA - I am even more worried about AFTER bub gets here... people wanting cuddles etc... I'm stressing about it already...anyone else worried or any ideas for dealing with it?

    jasp i am worried and my DD is nearly 4 months old! no ideas apart from just asking them not to. i felt like a hypocondriach (sp?) when i practically forced my parents and DH and his mum to get the whooping cough vaccine and now they are giving them out for free cause it is really bad at the moment.

    if i were pregnant, i;d either wear the mask or get someone else to go shopping, not only for your unborn bubba, but for you - i'm at home with suspected swine flu, dp has taken time off work so i;m not near the kids, and i feel like arse!! swine flu sucks.. sorry i don't make much sense at the moment, not feeling my finest..
