Is it bad.....

[fifi211]

....if I go into labour and I have this awful sore throat and sore chest? I know it's not ideal to feel unwell and you need all your energy for labour and birth, but would it actually be dangerous for baby or me?

Starting to stress myself out about it

 

[Suzie and Faith]

Don't stress. I don't think it's make any difference to baby and i'm sure you'd cope just fine hun, it might take up a bit more energy and leave you a little more tired but i don't think the affects would be worse than that.

Maybe keep energy drinks and things on standby in case you need a sugar rush?

xxxxx hope you feel better soon xxxx

Nope! I had it and still have it and it makes no difference xxx

 

[Happybunny]

Just wanted to give you hugs! I have had it for just over two weeks now and been taking antibiotics for a chest infection. I was worried too and have been praying the baby didn't come early. Things are getting much better now, but I am encouraged by everyone's response here. You may be a bit more tired, but you will be ok.

I hope you get better before labour kicks off. If it did happen I really don't think it would be dangerous, your body would cope

i think all that adenalin helps you cope plus all the drugs - if you are going to take any that is
i think the body has a knack of knowing when is right x

i find eating a lot of vitamin c high fruits and fruit smooties helps me shift a cold.
