    Not sick but not quite better.. still attend?

    I caught a terrible cold on Friday, and I'm mostly better now, and I feel fine, but still sound a bit nasaly and still need to blow my nose a bit.
    They say sickness is contagious up to 5 days after symptoms have begun. Today would be the fifth day, and I have Mother's Group tomorrow, and I really don't want to miss out, so I shouldn't be contagious anymore, but:

    Is it rude?
    Will it seem like I am bringing my sickness to all the other mums and babies?
    Is it being selfish?

    I would see how you feel in the morning. If you still have the sniffles, then no, I wouldn't go. Babies/children and catch colds/flus etc really easily. And the parents may not be too impressed if you turn up sick.

    I guess maybe think about how you would feel if another mum was blowing her nose and you could tell she had been sick. Would you want them around your baby?

    I dont have kids yet, but I dont think I would go, just to be safe. You wouldnt want to be giving it to the other mums or baby's
