I can't believe this. I woke up today with a scratchy throat, and over the course of the day it has blossomed into a full-blown sore throat that hurts when I swallow, a runny nose and watery eyes, the whole nine yards. I CANNOT BE SICK RIGHT NOW! I am 39 weeks as of today, feeling contractions constantly throughout the day, and really ready for labor to start. My big fear is that this stupid cold is going to somehow delay the onset of labor and send me into post-dates land, which since I am diabetic will probably mean induction. No, no, no! NO COLD! Cannot be sick!
Sigh. Has anyone else dealt with a nasty virus when they were about to go into labor (or actually in labor)? How did it affect things, if at all? I am so irritated about this.

No advice just a hug. Hang in there u poor thing.
: Yep, I'm right there with ya, got a cold yesterday. My throat is scratchy and my nose is runny. I've taken extra vit C and keep having hot tea with echinacea and other good herbs in it. It's no wonder I got sick after my past few days - big doings for my MIL's 70th b'day. But - argh!
