Sick and labor is approaching

H • #Momof2 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

So my husband, daughter, and I are all feeling a little sick after a week. My husband was sick a week ago and can’t get the cough to go away. He is planning on going to the doctor today to see what they can do. My daughter goes to the doctor Saturday and I’m planning to tell them about her snotty nose that’s lingered for a week to see if they can help her. I go back to my Obgyn tomorrow and will probably ask them the same questions, but until then I want to ease my mind and see what I’m looking at. (Nobody has a fever)

I have a lot of congestion and cough occasionally still. I’ve been having a lot of contractions and I know it’s close to time for labor.

If I go into labor while I’m still feeling like this what will they do?

Will I be able to hold my baby and breastfeed?

Will they take the baby away from me because of me being sick?

Could I risk giving my baby RSV or Whooping Cough?

I’m only 36 weeks, but will more than likely be having the baby before 40 weeks. Our goal is to make it to 37 weeks at the least. This pregnancy has been a rough ride all around. Please help me out guys! 😩
