My toddler DS was quite poorly with croup over the last few days, he's still coughing a fair bit but definitely on the mend.
I'm almost 39 weeks pregnant (my waters broke with DS at 39+4). Since yesterday eve/this morning I have seemingly caught his virus with a sore throat and no voice.
I'm obviously not relishing labour whilst being poorly (or coughing afterwards with stitches etc), but most worried for passing anything onto my newborn. Anyone been in this position? Did newborn end up catching virus? From what I've read it seems that if I am still ill in labour, I won't already the antibodies in my system to pass to my newborn to protect him.
Just trying to ignore the cramps/Brixton hicks ramp ups over the past few days and hoping to go past my due date to recover!
Any stories welcome.

if I go into labour with a cough and a cold will it harm my newborn?
