Hi, a friend has swine flu. Her husband and kids do not. She has been at home 5 days before being diagnosed. Are they carriers of this and should be avoided just incase they develop it? They havent got it so far three days later but worried i could get it from them....

I am sure it is possible they might still go down with it. Last year ds had some sort of flu.....a week later dd went down with it and a week after that dh. I didn't get it at all.
A difficult call really but definately a possibility they might be harbouring flu but on the other hand they might not get it at all !

I didnt go round anyway, did feel bad as it was the lo's birthday but as im pregnant i didnt want to take any chances..

dont blame you. Not the thing to have while pregnant. Go get your jab!

I would have avoided them too bethan, don't feel bad about it.

I got it this week it just take a few weeks to work! I know, its just you feel bad dont you especially as some would see it as over reacting but i am not putting myself at risk if i can help it ;)

deffo not overreacting. Keep safe!
