Quarantine him or her ā¦ thatās what we did when I had Covid so that I wouldnāt get the kids sick
This is what we recommend at the healthcare facility I work at IF ITS COVID RELATED .
I had an upper respiratory infection and both of my older kids had a nasty stomach bug when I brought my youngest home. She never even got a sniffleā¦
Shes only venting lolā¦ I canāt imagine being pregnant having to take care of my youngster while pregnant is hard enough and on top of tjat being sick and needyā¦ shes also pregnant and hormonal
Why are yall so mean she only said she needed to vent obviously shes taking care of the sick kid. Ship him off to gramas my love if you can lol get some rest
Some of the comments are just mean for no reason. One, the girl is ready to have a baby any day, so that alone makes her miserable and Two, she said sheās just ventingā¦which means sheās releasing frustration. It is irritating and frustrating to think about it, but all will work out.

The way you talk sounds like baby is a blessing and your kid an inconvenience. I donāt think I have ever used the terminology my kid, especially to the extent you do like they are just there and fād up your life.
Omgā¦ women should be lifting other women up i canāt believe how rude some of these comments are i feel like I should apologize for them!!!
ā¦ and for momā¦ everything will be ok!!! Just like most of these other parents said ā¦ take precautions by keeping things as āgerm freeā such as lysol wipes and sanitizers as much as you are able and if its just the sniffles and late summer cold it may be mostly over with by the time baby comes home!!!
Ummmā¦ kids get sick. Youāll be fine and so will the baby.
That is life. Take you sick child to the doctors . If the child is still sick when you come home from hospital you will just have to cope this is your lot in life.
You will be okay!!
Comfort your child, give him some panadol and pop some vix on his chest make him a nice fruit salad and let him snuggle on the couch with a movie and rest. Like you said there is nothing you can do about it so donāt bother stressing over it just take care of it like you would any other time.

Umm, kids get sick. You canāt control when they do.
Take him to a Dr and have his father help him get betterā¦itāll be fine your over paranoid
Why are these mean comments happening? She needs advice and comfort. You dear lady are at your white end waiting to have a new life while the child you have is sick. You need to treat your sick one for the child is yours to take care of. Use you Doctorās guidance on treatment for prevention for you and the child inside you. Love all three of you and take extra care for each of you. Be kind to yourself

I understand your frustration itās always one thing after another! You vent away ducky and ignore some of these ājudgmentalā comments! Weāre not all perfect are we! Think some people forget that! Keep little one comfortable and plenty of fluids and you use this to your advantage to rest with your poorly one! Good luck for your new baby x

Kids get sick, nothing you can do about it
Girlā¦ Breastfeed and pass on that immunity !!! And get over it. Your baby is sick and needs mommy. My kid got covid last year and he wanted mommy! Guess what ! I wore my mask , he wore his and i held him as much as I could. He understood he needed to isolate to protect mommy too.
take a deep breath!! everything will be just fine.

Relax yourself muma I think any mum reading this canāt completely understand your worries and stresses, know your babies and you will be fine rest when u can grab and support hands that u have, u have this x
I came home from the hospital after delivery to my sick 4 year old. Wasnāt ideal. I got sick too but we got through it. Breast feeding gives your baby immune system support by passing antibodies necessary to fight an infection. Which mean my newborn never got sick!
Do you have a close family friend or family member that can help with your sick little one? Itās not unreasonable to feel overwhelmed or worried about getting sick before delivery. You need a support system to help.

Take a deep breath- it will be okay mama- Try to see if you can get a little help with your sick child, so you can take care of yourself. Iām sure someone will be willing to give you an extra hand
happened to me! all 3 of my girls had the flu while my son was born, I kept him in my bedroom, quarantined away from them and breastfeeding helps bc it gives them immunities but obviously do what you can do 
You need to go for a long walk and eat a banana split. Walk to get baby out, banana split cuz you deserve some yummy ness. Last few weeks of pregnancy drives all mamas nutsā¦ hang in there

Oh honey I have a 4 years old and just had a baby 2 months ago when I was pregnant (9 months) my daughterās school sent me a message saying she was potentially exposed
To someone that was positive for Covid and all I did I was pray for my toddler and my unborn child, theyāre both my babies, theyāre both very important to me, You should think the same because Weāre MOTHERS and overall that has to come before anything, You canāt just pushed your toddler to the side and stay away and your new baby away also itās not like he is 13 
It will be okay. The day I came home with a newborn in Feb 2020 my four year old had a runny nose and congestion. The next day a fever of 103. We took her to Pediatric Urgent Care and turns out she had the Flu type B. I did my best to keep her separate from newborn best I could. Of course I didnāt sleep much for a week. Sprayed down areas with disinfectant spray and wiped down areas with Clorox wipes. Their dad helped some after work. Youād be surprised in your own strength and patience when it comes to your kids. You can in times that you think you canāt. Best wishes 
Youāve got this. Donāt stress out. Everything will be fine.

I had gotten bronchitis when I was pregnant with my son. You just deal with it. But I have 2 Autistic children, so I guess minor inconveniences donāt really bother me anymoreā¦Iām happy if I have to go one day without cleaning shit off the wallsā¦

Take a deep breath and know itāll happen how itās supposed to. My son and I both started getting sick a couple days ago (congestion, he had cough, headache) and Iām scheduled to have our next on the 3rd. Iām just hoping that itās run itās course by then and we are all better and I had time to sanitize before baby comes.
Do know that if you are nursing your new born you are passing your immunities on to your child for many,many months
(Anything youāve had your baby is safe from.) Natureās GREAT, so donāt worry youāve got this.
NURSE YOUR BABY.

Deal with it. Youāre a mother so act like one!! Take care of your sick kid and to be honest, hold it while youāre pushing the other one out. You canāt choose between your kids you twisty little bitch. What a story. Iām amazed anyone would put this on social media. Theyāre your kids. Yours. As in your responsibility. Donāt open your legs if you canāt deal with the consequences. Aye now Iām off to Facebook jail but you know what, not seeing shit like this is worth it.

And then baby gets sick just as the older gets over it. Iāve been there. It sucks.
I bet you are stressing I have been there too! I would contact their primary doctor and see about getting your little ones in before you go into the hospital, just in case they are sick they will have meds to take. Prayers for you and your family!

Your oldest may not even be sick by the time you have the baby. Donāt stress out too much mama. If you breastfeed your milk will transfer antibodies to your baby too to help prevent him/her from getting sick. Just stay positive mama

Take the child to the Pediatrician!
Donāt have kids, if you donāt want to get sick from them. Get your kid tested for covid if your worried and if itās negative, when you get home just explain to your older child that he canāt get to close and risk getting sibling sick. They can understand at that age

Good thing is they are usually so much better within a day or 2. Dont stress too much. Get used to everyone constantly being sick HAA! 
Itās part of being a parent. Itās not your childās job to make your life convenient. He didnāt choose to get sick. Care for him, take him to the doc, etc. Not sure what you were hoping to gain from this postā¦

Why are you upset that your child canāt control the weather? Sure, you are due now but why even put energy into being upset at that situation? Just give your kid meds and let them sleep it off.

Only thing you can do is see if anyone else in your life can take care of your kid until they are better? Or suck it up and deal cuz this is life
My son tested positive for strep the day before my daughter was born.
Mask up, wash hands after encounters with sick child and treat the symptoms. Wishing you good vibes

If youāre breastfeeding the baby although itās scary your body will make the antibodies to help your newborn not get sick, though of course they still can. Iāve read about bf moms with two week old babies that got severely sick with covid, continued breastfeeding and their babies didnāt get sick.
