Oh no!

Due to go in tomorrow for c-section....but have gone down with disgusting flu-type virus. Alternately sweating and shivering, aching, running nose, cough, feel - and look - like death. So will almost certainly put it off for a day or two. The idea of looking after a baby when I feel like this makes me want to cry! So fed up.

Oh poor you aloha. Lots of hot lemon and honey and homemade soup with plenty of garlic, spoon fed by your dh.

What rotten luck, hope you're feeling better soon--what do the hospital say about delaying your section?

Oh poor you, aloha - what terrible timing.

Would definitely delay the section if possible - ds2 was born when we all had terrible colds and he caught it at a few days old - not good

Hope you feel better soon.

Hope you recover soon, definitely not a fit state in which to have a cs!

Poor you. I think that might be the flu I had (twice grr) and it's horrid. Must be really disappointing to have to put off the birth too. Hope feel better really soon. xxx

you have my sympathy aloha, its a nasty bug when you're not pregnant let alone when you're 39 weeks

of course, you should be blaming coddy, she's already admitted its all her fault (that's this bug, tensions in the middle east, CD's dog puking, troubles in NI etc) .. so it is obviously the fish's fault

oooh, yes I like the idea of someone to blame!
Going to drag my rotting carcase back to bed now. Thank God my mum is available to look after ds.
