I'm feeling sorry for myself. 15 weeks and been in bed since monday with what seems to be a horrible virus. Like a cross between a cold and man flu
I'm pretty sure it's not flu, just a bad cold. But I feel awwwwful and keep worrying about the baby, even tho I know the worst it's doing is probably shaking the wee thing every time I cough or sneeze!
Am I being mad to worry?

You're not mad - you're probably knackered from having a cold and being pregnant. I had a horrid chest infection at about 16 weeks and ended up pulling a muscle so needed strong painkillers and antibiotics, not ideal but they sorted me out.

Go to see your GP to rule out a check infection and see if there are any meds available to you.

Meanwhile, rest up and be kind to yourself

Don't worry, baby will be fine, they are protected in there.
I has a terrible cold over Xmas - felt awful. Every time I sneezed or cough it was agony unless I was bent over. Felt like pulling my lower abdominal muscles so tight.

Thanks to you both! I don't normally suffer from colds, def not ones that last 5 days, so that's probably why it feels so bad! I don't feel chesty, all symptoms are def above the neck.
Will just have ANOTHER day in bed hoping there's light at the end of the tunnel...
Dramatic much?
