To be a lil annoyed that friend didnt warn me...

[Sam419]

That she and her DD have a terrible stinking cold before i went round...

Im 37 weeks pregnant and have managed to only catch a couple of colds but i have asthma so I get it really bad on my chest and ended up with the dr comin out last time.

I know i cant hide away whenever anyone has a cough or cold but AIBU to think that she could have warned me so i could choose to stay away?

[BadgersBottom]

YAB a bit U - because by the time the cold is out she's past the contagious stage. Also - YABU to use the word 'lil'.

[Pandemoniaa]

YABU for "lil" and "comin".

But entirely reasonable in not wanting to catch a cold and yes, your friend should have had the courtesy to warn you before visiting.

[ilovesooty]

She should have warned you, yes.

But "lil"?

[Fakebook]

YABU. A cold isn't flu.

[Kaida]

Not sure about that BadgersBottom? As I understand it, the cold viruses are spread through sneezing, coughing, etc. I think OP as long as your friend didn't breathe/cough/sneeze on you or share cups etc, you should hopefully be fine.

[fanjoforthemammaries7850]

She can say 'lil' if she wants.

FFS.

YANBU, although colds are kind of ubiquitous at the moment.

Badgers colds are contagious for about the first week of symptoms.

[Geranium3]

i would have mentioned if we had bad colds but my pet hate is when half way through a play date the child or mum gaily announces that the entire family have the squits or vomitting the day before, grrrrrrh!!!

[OlderNotWiser]

YANBU. Definitely not. I always tell friends if I have cold and we have plans to meet. It's common courtesy to give them the option of saying 'no thanks', especially if there are reasons for wanting to avoid a cold such as pregnancy or asthma.

[MammaTJ]

I have learnt from my three pregnancies that made it that far.................never tell a woman 37 weeks pregnant they are being unreasonable!!

YANBU!! if just a teeny bit precious

[Sam419]

Thank you for replies...i agree IAU for using the term 'lil' although 'comin' was a typo!

I am glad IANBU, i just thought she would have thought about warning me especially when she knew how badly a cold knocked me down last time...oh well we shall see how i am in about a week i suppose!

Thanks MammaTJ, i wish my DH thought like this!
