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 no (as you say!).... that's a bummer..... well lots of TLC and you'll quickly feel better

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

edam · 06/02/2005 12:56

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

marthamoo · 06/02/2005 15:18

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.

PuffTheMagicDragon · 06/02/2005 15:34

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

Angeliz · 06/02/2005 15:36

Oh no, i hope you feel better soon!+

Frizbe · 06/02/2005 16:19

lou33 · 06/02/2005 16:23

look after yourself and take care xx

ScummyMummy · 06/02/2005 16:52

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

WideWebWitch · 06/02/2005 17:07

Oh no! I hope it goes soon and you have a lovely babe by the end of this week.

Pupuce, at this rate I really will go into labour!

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
