39+6 with a bad cold!

[aetw]

Just that really. I have an awful sore throat, streaming blocked up nose, achey, with a headache. I’m panicking that I won’t now cope with giving birth as I feel so bloody rough. It’s not even like I can sleep it off because I’m so uncomfortable in bed. Help!!!
Anyone had this? What can I do?

I felt rough when I went in to be induced. It literally disappeared in labour as that just took over and the last thing in my mind was a cold.

Just try to rest as much as you can in the next few days. Chances are you'll be better when labour starts.

I really hope so! I’m laying in bed now not being able to sleep or breathe. I’m so tired already.
