immune system in free fall

Clare

I’m 37 weeks pregnant and have had a bad viral infection. Seems my immune system is in absolute free-fall. I have it all: temp, sinusitis, laryngitis (voice completely gone), body aches, coughing, bowl problems, nausea exhaustion, cold sores.

I’m booked off work but I’m going to call it. I’m on maternity leave and I’m staying in bed until I feel way better - well as much as my three year old will allow. My doctor is awesome but just gave me vitamin shots and paracetamol and told me to lie down.

I completely forgot how hectic a pregnancy is on your body. Think I overestimated myself in thinking I could work till 38 weeks. 😳 anyone else’s body forcing them to flop🙄
