Am I ridiculous? Mask wearing to prevent sickness

Kaycee • Wife, Dog & Cat mom, First Pregnancy

This is my second bout of getting sick this month, which is some kind of fresh hell while also being pregnant. This time my fever has been 100+ degrees. I believe I’m on the mend, but I’m supposed to be in a large crowd on Saturday and I’m seriously contemplating wearing a surgical mask (if I even go) I know I’ll look ridiculous..but am I ridiculous for thinking of doing so? I am exhausted, I am over it and I’m starting to get looney 🤪 and of course, in the long run I’d hope it would protect baby. I know they’re pretty well shielded from whatever virus the person carrying him/her gets (within reason) but it still makes me nervous. Anyone else done this? Or thought about it? This suppressed immune system is real..never thought about that as a potential hardcore effect of pregnancy 😬 the moreeee you know 🙃
