I am due with baby #3 in 6 days. I'm being induced on Tuesday if I haven't had baby before then. Right now, labor feels like it could be any time. I'm crampy, having contractions off and on (nothing too regular yet) and having other signs that point towards labor.
DD4 crawls up on the couch with me about an hour ago, tells me her throat hurts (aka...nauseous) and proceeds to fall asleep. I take her temp and it is 102.5. Seriously? Seriously???!!!!! :glare: Of all the times to come down with an illness, it has to be NOW?
Now I'm afraid that one of these things will happen.
A. I'll go into labor and one of the kids (or both) will be sick and I'll worry. My mom, who is supposed to be in the delivery room with me, will have to care for them. The kids will miss out on the delivery too. They won't get to be around the baby at first.
B. DH will get sick. If DH and the kids are sick, who in the world is going to be in the delivery room with me???
C. I will get sick. I don't even want to imagine combining labor and a virus....I just really don't even want to think about it. And what about exposure to the baby?
Could the timing be any better?
Then again, maybe baby will hold off until the induction, no one else will get sick, and all will be well. I *really* hope that's the case. Earlier, I was hoping to go into labor tonight or tomorrow.....now, not so much. :glare:
