Right, shoot me down, call me mad - is it just me????
Im SICK of the following things happening to me.
I am 33 weeks PG with a 2yr old DS.
Friday I met a friend with her kids at a playgroup she suggested. It was really busy and I did spot quite a few mums with seriously ill children. Not the bog standard runny nose but streaming nose, screaming, red, clearly very ill, bad coughs etc.
Im thinking should I be here.
My friend turns up with her kids, tells me they have had a bad cold and cough for 2 weeks, they've been a nightmare. I look at her DD who has an unbelievable red rash/spots clustered on one side of her face, actually fire red and swollen and spread out spots on the other cheek.
She kept coughing and looked ill.
Alarmed, I asked "OMG, what wrong with her". She said "oh I don't know, she just woke up with that this morning" . C,mon, is it just me or would you have proceeded to meet your heavily PG friend in that situation?
I then had two different friends and their kids for lunch today. One friends 2 kids had bad colds and coughs and the others son was "really not himself today, just woke up with temperture and runny nose" he just flopped about on my sofa wimpering and being topped up with calpol.
I had a bad cold (not SF) a month ago and being PG it floored me, I struggled to look after my DS who subsequentley caught it and was pretty ill too. We are just over it and Im relieved I don't feel like staying in bed all day anymore. Incidentley, I cancelled a few things and didn't take him swimming or to usual outings.
I don't know, clearly it seems to be just me.
If my son is really ill (not a common cold, runny nose) and im going somewhere, I either warn first and ask if still ok or if it's really bad I just cancel. I am so in the minority or so it feels.
I just cant imagine doing that to a heavily PG woman right now.
Yes, I am worried about SF, Im too scared to get the vaccine and Im due at the worst possible time, just after xmas and new year.
Maybe Im extra paranoid. I just wondered if im going off my head or if you MN'rs think this was weird behaviour on their behalf?
