:(

I woke up so sick :( my throat feels scratchy & sore, my nose is stuffed, & my head hurts. I'm 31 weeks. Can the baby get sick too? I hope he's ok .. what are some safe things i can do or take to help me get better? Bf wants to take me to urgent care right now, but i don't think there's much they can do :(

Nia I am in the exact same boat as you. I woke up in the middle of might to a sore throat but I thought it was just dry, now that I'm up and about it hasn't gotten any better. My nose is totally blocked, both my ears are hurting my throat kills and my brain feels like it's a bunch of cotton balls :( I'm gonna drink some oj and a cup of tea and see how I feel before I call my doctor. Don't worry about baby, I've had the flu three times early in my pregnancy and my baby is perfectly healthy.
