Need support
I'm currently week 36+6 and I think I've gotten the flu. My body hurts, I cough, I have a stuffed nose, a light headache and a light fever. My doctor said that as long as the baby is moving like normal I shouldn't worry.
I'm not that worried about the baby but my body feels like I've been hit by a car. My belly and back hurts from the cough. The cough also triggers my hyperemesis so I keep throwing up. The baby is pushing up on my stomach also triggering my hyperemesis and gives me heartburn. I am SO sick of throwing up.
When I try to roll over or do.. anything!! I feel like I've just run a marathon, I get dizzy and my belly hurts from the coughing. I can barely get out of bed or the couch by myself.
Next week we're going to talk to the dr about being induced since it looks like we're going to have a big baby and this scares me.
Need support from my fellow moms, do you have any advice or encouraging words for me? 😭❤️
