Mil coughing and full of cold

[greenanorak]

They tested negative on LFTs last night but, aibu in being slightly bloody annoyed?

I'm 33 weeks pregnant. To be honest, after a shit winter of illness anyway, regardless of covid, I don't want to catch a cold!

Send them home/ go home then.

LFTs are only if you are asymptomatic.

Are they at your house?

I think it's rude for someone to come to your house if unwell especially if you're pregnant (even before covid)

And as PP says, if you have symptoms then you should get a PCR

YANBU

We're at their house, staying tonight and potentially tomorrow night.

Go home! The longer you’re around her, the more likely you are to catch it!

Go home then.

Go home. Say you're not feeling well and with being heavily pregnant just want to sleep in your own bed.

It's way too awkward to leave.

They should have told you OP but possibly bring on their own house they didn't think to plug don't think if it's not covid then it's fine

You need to stand up for yourself though and if you're not happy you could say you won't stay the night or stay as far as possible from her saying even "if you don't mind I'll keep a distance because I don't want any germs..."

Go home, say you're not feeling great yourself.

I know two people who are still testing negative on LF tests but they have full blown symptoms and positive PCRS.

OP - you're heavily pregnant - you must protect yourself and your baby - not your MIL's feelings.

I'd go home if I were you. Can you say you're feeling unwell? Blame the pregnancy.

I’m going slightly against the grain and saying it’s just a cold. If they tested yesterday I wouldn’t be so worried, even at 33 weeks pregnant. Colds are common and you are probably exposed to them all over the place.

Just ask her not to get to close to you and cough into a clean tissue every time.

Why is it way too awkward to leave? If I had my pregnant years again I'd be a LOT more assertive in protecting my own moods and feelings.

It could quite easily be covid seeing as she’s supposed to have got a PCR as she’s got a cough and lfts are known for false negatives. At 33 weeks pregnant I wouldn’t risk staying.

Tell them you’ve lost all sense kf taste and smell, they’ll want you out so fast your head will spin! 😂

Go home!

Your pelvic floor will not thank you if you get a stinking cold now

Your baby will not thank you if you catch covid and have a premature birth

No one wants a cold, let alone covid. Feign illness and go home.

Lie and tell them you’re unwell. Seriously, do what you have to do.

It's way too awkward to leave
Well I am not sure what you expect to happen then. She is in her own home and she didn't get ill (cold, covid, whatever it is) just to spite you. I am sure she would rather be completely Well. If you don't want to be near her then the onus is on you to do something about it, like go home.

They need PCRs if they are coughing.
I would also fake illness and head home. Not worth the risk or subsequent isolation!

It’s not awkward to leave. So many people seem to be negative on lateral positive on pcr. You need to look after health if yourself and baby. Covid aside you don’t want a cough and cold. If you’ve driven just say you are going home now, bonus if pregnancy you are sober to drive. Roads nice and quiet.

My sisters negative on LFT but positive on PCR. The LFT are if you don't have symptoms

34 weeks here and with a high risk pregnancy where I might be induced in the next two to three weeks. Despite this, my sister and her husband showed up to my mums (where we are all staying for a few days) with virus or flu like symptoms, and not a word of prior warning to us. Shes feeling so bad she's had to go lay down, but they've been really coughing and sneezing non stop. We tried to leave late last night but it was so awkward, we agreed to stay for today, and will hopefully be able to leave early tonight. But think it's very selfish of her, and your mother in law, not to say anything in advance so we could choose not to go and stay home instead.
