How can I be ill....again?!!

[Rochyella84]

25 weeks with my 2nd baby. Had an easy, healthy first pregnancy.

Since December have had 2 severe throat infections, one sickness bug and I am now coming down with my 3rd throat infection...glands are huge, hurts to swallow, headachey....all the usual symptoms.

I am seriously at the end of my rope with this - I can't take much more. I keep having to miss work (and I'm self employed) and I just feel so rotten.

Has anyone else had this? Is there nothing I can do to stop myself getting sick? I eat healthily, take vitamins, drink water and exercise several times a week. I'm so upset right now.

apart from quarantining your older (presumably pre-school) dc. nothing.

Do you have a
Fever or white spots on the back of your throat? Just wondering if it needs a blast if antibiotics if it's bacterial rather
Than viral?

Poor you.
It's been an awful winter for germs and you have an impaired immune system( pregnant).
Add small child bringing germs into the house and you are in trouble.
Avoid children as much as you can !

The last two throat infections were bacterial and I have already had 2 rounds of antibiotics. No white spots so far...just hoping against hope that it isn't another one as bad as they were.

yikesanotherbooboo oh how I wish - not only do I have a toddler at nursery, but I work with 2-4 year olds on a daily basis. There is no hope is there?

I’ve been the same since beginning of this pregnancy. Cold after cold and throat infections too. Had persistent cough for over 4 weeks now. So annoying. Going to see doctor next week about it.
Hang in there. :) Hope you are feeling better soon :)

That would be your main problem then. You're immunocompromised and surrounded by germ factories. Sorry.

Nothing much you can do but wash your hands a lot and wait it out.
