Do you have any family.
How bout we all just admit that this is because the media has been scaring the shit out of everyone with covid in the disguise of political bullshit!! I dont believe any of the crap out there right now, my husband has rona āaka influenzaā right now and Iām telling you it creeps in your head that you need to go overboard protecting everyone in your house when in reality 2 years ago you wouldnāt have done much different than keep his ass in bed and keep your distance.
This has to be joke right!!
Welcome to motherhood of two!
Welcome to mother hood
Your kid has a cold or the flu. He will live. A doctor canāt cure either of those. You are not likely to get sick from your child in your condition. Your baby is also not likely to get sick from his sibling. Babies are born with pretty good immune systems; until they are 6 months. You are concerned over nothing. Put your kid to bed where he is more likely to get rest. Make sure he drinks a lot. Concord grape juice; give it to him all the time.
Praying 
for you
Dont. You. Have. Famley
And motrin works good too
Pray and put your trust in GOD.
Itās called motherhood
Newborns rarely get sick.
Take him to the ER or urgent careā¦ Its your child one way or another you gunna get the germsā¦ Sucks thatā your pregnantā¦ where is the father can he take your kid to urgent careā¦ I hope you have a healthy birth and hope u donāt get sickā¦ It sucks when we have to go thru this. My daughter has a cold I just made an appt gunna go get her tested

Your very selfish. Kids get sick. Get over it.
Girl you must be overwhelmed.ask someone to help you so you can rest a spell
Do you not have a husband, family or friend that can come an help out a couple hours so you can pull
Yourself together. If you child is running a fever please take to the doctor to help the child and give you answers. If you really feel you canāt handle the situation call 911 ask for help

I know this is very nerve racking . Does he have a temp ? If not it might be a reg virus and needs to run itās course . A antibiotic wonāt work for it . Also if your baby is born and you breast feed your colostrum should protect baby . It is very possible your child might have a ear infection or something that wonāt last long . Can your husband take him to the pediatrician?
Well. If you sneeze or cough, your child could help catch his or her sibling since you caught his or her cold. 
Hold this baby, big brother. I hope all works out. Congratulations!!!
My daughter had some sort of virus the week my son was due ā¦he was a week late which made me super uncomfortable and restless bc I was hugeā¦but I mean she was 3 and I honestly didnāt even think about me getting sick bc when your child is sick who do they want for cpmfort? Their mama right? My mind didnāt even think about myselfā¦ and there I was with her who vomited down my neck lol gave her a nice bath and let her sleep on me.
You people are so judgmental itās not even funny!

Iām really amazed at some of these responses. She literally said she just needed to vent. She is overwhelmed & has crazy hormones running through her. I respect the hell out of people who are mindful of germs around babies. Not enough people are grown enough to make that common sense decision of keeping sick kids or even themselves away from a newborn.
The amount of people who have lost their empathy and understanding of what others are going through is beyond disappointing. Keep pushing that negative energy out there. Lord knows we havenāt had enough of that over the past year and a half 
My 2yr old got sick with the flu/stomach bug I ended up catching it and I was so dehydrated from puking and pooping I went into labor, and had my 2nd son an entire month earlier. My husband the baby and myself ended up sick in the hospital and came home to my 2yr old still sick with an ear infection. Shit happens wether you want it to or not. Iām guessing itās probably just your hormones driving you nuts right now,but honestly, get over it. 
Maybe if your other child is still sick, maybe you could have the grandparents watch after him. Heās not going to be able to come in the hospital, unless heās being seen by a doctor anyhow. So you have to have preparation for that, while your in labor. It may also just be a 24hr bug
suck it up buttercup!
Unfortunately one day you will all be sick at the same time and you will just have to man up and deal with it!

Im 
sorry my little guy is in daycare has been getting sick back to back 3-5 days in between sessions. And in had a terrible cough during my pregnancy i was on Ventolin . Talk to your doctor about vitamin c supplementation for you and your son and vitamin d. I really hope it helps. Im also hoping you dont get sick too. Being sick and pregnant can be very taxing for people to be so rude.

If you are having the baby at home it will be tough have you no parents to help out you will cope when you have to and its not winter yet so it should be easier keep a dettol spray handy and some medication from the doc .
No worries he is your kid too be positive all will be wellā¦
These are the Days of Our Life.
How dare your ākidā become poorly!!! Does your ākidā have a gender e.g. son/ daughter! I bet your child needs a lot of tlc, cuddles, reassurance and LOVE at the moment. Think of the child you have here now, Iām sure he/she will be feeling pushed out enough when your newborn arrives!

Normally I can empathise, however you need to get a grip. Both your babies need you. Your newborn will come into a world thatās full of germs and your older child will get through his bug as a little time passes. Somethings you cant change so you have to endure them. Try and stem the negativity and think about the birth. I wish you a happy healthy baby.

Yeah, it sucks ! I got sick a few days after having my first baby and it was so hard because I was nursing her and didnāt want to make her sick so I had to wear a mask 
around her for a few weeks and be very careful (this was like 13 years ago by the way so it was way before COVID ) but I managed not to get the baby sickā¦ It was not easy at allā¦
Donāt stress yourself huni new baby will be fine, your milk will know what baby needs to fight the germs.
When we brought our youngest home we had 4 kids & 1 adult with gastro & 1 adult with a cold in the household (I had the gastro 2 nights before my c-sec, luckily I woke up the morning of feeling amazing)
Once home - new baby, hubby & myself didnāt get sick at all & it got to the point we couldnāt keep the kids away from her so she was definitely exposed to the germs/bugs, I was freaking out but I was assured sheād be fine & she was 
My 2 1/2 year old threw up the entire night I was having my second childā¦we lived through it, Get your kid well soon and maybe you wonāt deliver just yet. I came down with a deadly case of Asia flu when my second was 3 weeks old! Then he ended up in hospital with it at 4 weeksā¦A real tough time but this too shall pass!
Donāt you had family or someone to 5akecare 0f him sence you are soon anyday??
Take the kid to any of your close family or friend
its life u n baby will b ok. dayquill/nightquill helps
Vitamin c! When my little one got sick recently I increased his vitamin c intake. Only vitamin c. Nothing with elderberry and no ibuprofen or Motrinā¦ just airing on the side of caution. But I gave him 500mgs of vitamin c daily. I bought the liquid form and just mixed in some juice.
Iām sad for the elder kid for some reasonā¦ I donāt know.

You poor princess thatās absolutely normal mum life what tf you whinging about something so minor for you obviously have never had it tough.

Kids get sick and well we know why youāre pregnant 
I dont know how allergies work where you live, but its really bad where Iām at. My kids have been miserable. Not sick though, no fever, just allergies. Could be that!
Elderberry and Vitamin C

Ok so get this- my daughter was really sick when I went into labor with my sonā cough, runny nose, sore throat, feverā¦ the works. She got me sick of course. I swear when I started going into labor ALL my symptoms magically went away. It was crazy! We had no choice but to bring her around my son when he came home and because he was breastfed (my pediatricians hypothesis) and had my antibodiesā¦ he never got sick either. It was the weirdest thing. With that saidā¦ yes getting sick sucks, caring for sick kids, especially with a newborn really sucks, and caring for kids while youāre sick is the worst! BUTā¦ just think of all the cuddles and comfort food while watching movies togetherā¦ try to look at the good parts and remember youāre strong and amazing and youāve got this. Good luck momma!
Take care of your child. Take care of yourself and hope for the best. Youāll be fine.
Young one - this to shall pass - you were blessed with a lilā guy 5 years ago and now you are blessed with a new life growing inside - slow down sweetie - just breathe - youāve already realized there is little you can do. Breathe young one - your a good Momma- you got this kiddo.
Boost everyoneās immune systems! It will be okay!
There is something you can do. You can Take the child to the doctor for starters 
stomachache, cough and nasal congestion are symptoms of strep throat. Might need an antibiotic.

Breaking you in to being a parent of 2 right off the bat. Usually babies immune systems at birth are pretty good. Your little canāt help getting sick anymore than you could. Love that baby up this too shall pass.
Take kid to dr to get meds to get better fast. Viola.Solved.
How dare your child get sick at such an inconvenient time?!
Agree w/all, say a prayer and take kiddo to dr. He can advise about baby health precautions. Is there anyone who can help overnites at home? Were you planning on support when baby came anyway?! Try and figure it out calmly. Youāll do fine.

No matter whatā¦ YOU GOT THIS! I know it doesnāt feel like it, but you will figure it out and most importantly, youāll be the best damn momma you can be! There is no manual for these things. Take 3 deep breaths and come up with a plan. You can do it and everything will be ok!
Keep a mask on yourself and teach your child to cough into his elbow . Itās scary I know but it will be fine maybe grandma& grandpa can help out a little .
Welcome to motherhood. The infant will be fine their immune to alot of stuff that young. The kid you already have needs you
Take a breathe. The last days of pregnancy are always overwhelming. Your feeling perfectly are normal. Donāt listen to any of those means spirited people. Remember your newborn has lots of adding immunities from you to protect them. My elderly great aunt came to the hospital to see my newborn with a cold. See even had the nerve to kiss him. I could have killed her and actually ask for to leave. But guess what- my son was fine. Your baby will be fine too. Comfort your sick child and give them the med they. Sit them in front of the tv all bundled up and play their favorite movies or shows so they sit quietly and rest. Sit down next to them and both of you go to the sleep. Order Chinese and have rice and soup delivered for dinner for his tummy if possible. Hang in there better days are coming. My kids are 34 & 35. It goes by quick. Enjoy the rollercoaster.
Itās a difficult place to b in wid all thatās happening in ur life n around u. 1st pray a motherās prayer n get sum1 to help u take care of the siek child but also b there for the child. Comfort love is important n God at ur side I believe u will conquer
There is always someone who has to make something negative out of everything all parents get overwhelmed whether they have 1 kid or 5 q I ick making it sound like she doesnāt care I believe she was looking for advice not a bunch of ignorant comments have a heart people this is a crazy enough time we ste going through font make it worse for others BE KIND
Welcome to motherhood! Whoever your backup for childcare is, call that person now. Get your son to a doctor today and hope that you wonāt go into labor any time soon .
Parenting/ get used to it.
We went through mumps, measles, chicken pox. Etc. Etc. Suck it up and go on. I ha pneumonia when one of mine was. Ron. Mask up long before pandemic.
Take to the Doctor take sure she doesnāt have Covid if she just has the Flu ask your Mom to watch her for a few dayās till she is fine then bring her back home
Your child will get better soon and you just feel misrable because the baby is due but before you know you feel better
Get somebody to help you. You clearly anxious. And you have every right to be! Unfortunately life isnāt scripted like in the movies. Remember kids can bounce back quickly from anything. A visit to the docter might calm your fears. Best wishes!
Suck it up, buttercupā¦thatās being a momā¦and you have a child not a ākidā
