I'm really worried at the moment. 38+4 and I've had a horrible cold and cough for two weeks, it doesn't seem to be going away.
I feel awful, very tired, I could barely get out of bed today let alone out of the house and we're running out of things to eat. (luckily my parents will visit tomorrow and I'll ask them to bring some bits and pieces if they can)
I've now got a really sore breast and it seems to be a blocked duct, which seems a bit soon considering the baby isn't here yet! Temp is up a little bit but could be a lot worse I know. And I can't feed to clear it.
I'm just concerned that I won't be able to do labour in this state. Everything is aching, baby is engaged, (third so doesn't mean it's imminent, but it's making walking hard) and I've twisted my neck and back somehow as well...basically I'm a right blooming mess.
I don't know what to do. What if my temperature goes up, if it develops into mastitis - what then? I don't think I can face antibiotics on top of feeling so crap already, I don't react that well to them.
I'm a bit scared tbh. Has anyone gone into labour feeling like 7 kinds of rubbish? And was it possible? I feel at the moment like I want them to put me under, take the baby out and let me sleep.
