I've debated whether to post as there's nothing you can do to help me, but I just need to vent.
Our daughter caught a bad stomach virus in nursery Tuesday, was throwing up all afternoon and night, then developed high fever (39.5 C or 103.1 F) on Wednesday, that's been going ever since. Last night my MIL started feeling poorly (she's here to take care of DD when I go into labour) and this morning DH started throwing up and has been throwing up violently all day.
My due date was yesterday and I'm just so so scared. I really don't want to get sick. I also don't want to go into labour and deliver on my own. DH is in no condition to drive me and besides, I wouldn't want him sick around our or any other babies. But I also don't want to be all alone. I don't want him to miss that moment when our baby comes into the world, or have no visitors in the hospital because they're all recovering (I think I'd be too paranoid to let them near the baby). And then there's the coming home if people are still ill.
I know I'm being hormonal and emotional and have been crying for most of the day like a stupid woman, but it's just stressing me out. I mean, I might not go into labour for another week, so it's pointless to worry anyway, I just can't help it. The fact DD is still poorly after three days - usually, she's recovered in a couple of days - doesn't ease my mind at all.
And, yeah, apparently all thanks to a lady who took her son to nursery even though he was sick, just gave him paracetamol. Thanks, lady. Don't even wanna ponder that one, cause it makes me so fucking mad.
Pointless post, I guess. I guess I'm just after a bit of reassurance and perhaps some similar stories or experiences that might ease my mind?
