Full of cold

I’m due for section on Friday but I’m full of cold/ bronchitis and so is my husband now. Will they still do it or is this a good enough reason for them to change the date?

To my understanding, as long as there are no complications with baby. They would usually put off doing surgery when you're unwell and give you a new date, tell them and they'll be able to advise you further... I wouldn't leave it too late to tell them. I hope you both feel better soon x

@Pia thank you. I’ve been unwell for almost 2 weeks and see no sign of it going by Friday!! And now my husband is unwell not sure how we’d cope!! I’ll contact them 😊

I’ve heard people having Covid, and still going ahead with sections!

As you won't be having a general anaesthetic they will likely go ahead. You could go into labour while poorly and they would still need to proceed

I was full of it when I had my section with my little girl in July 2022. It all went fine but the coughing after wards was not pleasant! Hope everything goes well!

@Joanne I’m worried about the coughing as I’m currently having coughing fits which hurt in general! 😫

I hugged a pillow when I could! 🙈 fingers crossed you might feel a bit better on Friday. I have had a cough for 5 weeks now. Horrible stuff going round

@Joanne I hope so. It’s been 2 weeks so far and 1 course of antibiotics and no sign of improving. I also worry baby will catch it too 😫

I had a course of antibiotics too and nothing improved! Horrible I know but unavoidable. My little one never caught anything from me at first, but she had covid at 13 weeks old 😣😣 and many illnesses since! She goes nursery now at 2 and she’s ill every 2 weeks, currently coughing whilst trying to sleep bless her

Coughing or even laughing in the slightest is soooooooooooo PAINFUL - I’m even scared for my partner to go shops and catch a cold or I catch a cold because the thought of a constant cough is scary - even when I’m doped up on medication it feels like I’m being ripped and that’s from drinking to fast and maybe choking on a drink 🥲🥲

And you wouldn’t want baby to catch anything as they are so little 🥲 definitely bring it up and have a consultation about the pros and cons with your health advisor x
