Getting sick and getting induced in 4d

i am getting induced in 4 days.  This last week I am on bedrest.  Today I came down with a cough, a bit of a sore throat, and stuffy nose.  I am scared.  Will they still induce?  Can my baby get sick from me if I'm still sick when I give birth?  Any advice please!

Thank you!  No fever and clear mucus.  Thank goodness.  I will call OB tomorrow to see if they want to treat the cough...it is pretty nasty.

I don't know about the whole inducing part if you are sick, but I believe your baby is safe. Are you running a fever?  What color is your nasal mucus.   Hopefully you just have a cold and in that case it will be okay,  or you could have a sinus infection in that case you may need some antibiotics.  Try to rest as much as you can.  I hope this helps. Good luck to you :)
