Hiya,

It won't hurt the baby if you do cacth the flu, but it will make it loads worse for you!! The baby is very resiliant to these kind of things as they are in their own little cocoon.

If you get it, make sure you get plenty of rest and drink loads of water and fluids. Also, try to keep eating fairly well even though you may not feel like it.

Good luck avoiding it!!

I had a stinking cold a few weeks ago, and it felt like the worse cold I had ever had. Not because of the cold, but because I couldn't take anything.

I'll keep everything crossed that you don't catch anything.

Hey,

I have the Flu at the moment and was worried about the same thing, my Midwife said it won't hurt the baby at all but i need to increase my fluid intake take a couple paracetamol if it gets too bad and put my feet up to rest.

I have the flu,just seemed to come on in the night,and I have suffered and sulked all day,what makes it worse is that I am overdue!!
If he'd come on time,I would have been okay,I'm sure!!
My midwife said the same as yours Mica,so if it gets too bad after,looks like that's what I'll be doing

Hi,
I also have the cold at the mo and I'm totally shattered!!! I never get the cold. Haven't had the flu, think I'd be out of commission for at least a few weeks though. Are you working as well or did you take sick? Don't over do it, take it easy and sleep when you need to, I also strongly agree with upping your fluid intake. Take care, rest on the sofa with pint of water in one hand and remote control in the other, surrounded in tissues, brilliant!!
