I don't mind colds so much though. Mostly just annoying. 2PeasinaPod on "Do you usually catch LO's cold?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-catch-los-cold#post-2202993 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 11:44:41 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2202993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 90% of the time, I pick up whatever DS has brought home. DH on the other hand is apparently immune to everything!

That's the only thing that saves me when I'm catching a cold. It's just Zinc and it's homeopathic, but it really kill the cold if you take it as soon as you ferl symptoms.

If I have to use the NoseFrida, it's guaranteed I'll catch whatever she has at twice the intensity. I hate that thing...I don't care what they say, it doesn't trap any germs. Otherwise, there's a 50-50 chance of either me or DH (or both) getting sick.

It used to be much more often but this past year i didn't get sick as much. Woolly Mammoth on "Do you usually catch LO's cold?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-catch-los-cold#post-2202885 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 10:34:13 +0000 Woolly Mammoth 2202885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not usually. Well, sometimes I can tell that I'm fighting something off (I'll be tired and thirsty). In early Spring I caught two bad colds from him in a row. It was awful - he was sick but still full of energy and I just wanted to rest. Mrs. High Heels on "Do you usually catch LO's cold?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-catch-los-cold#post-2202866 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 10:15:45 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2202866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Oh no, I hope you feel better ASAP! You're probably more prone to catching it too bc you're pregnant vs if you weren't. I used to catch it more when they were younger, but not anymore! Corduroy on "Do you usually catch LO's cold?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-catch-los-cold#post-2202825 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 09:38:22 +0000 Corduroy 2202825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My immune system is toughing up quite a bit. The year before I had LO1 I had a volunteer job with babies and toddlers, just 3 hours a week and I got sick every week even though I washed my hands religiously and obviously wasn't kissing the kids. They were kids in really unfortunate situations and it was different kids every day so I think they tended to be sicker than your average kids. I missed work at least once a month so I had to quit (especially since it wasn't good to be so sick while pregnant). LO1's first year of daycare was pretty bad too. Now the duration of the colds I get is pretty much down to 24 hours regardless of how long it takes LO to deal fight it. I just feel crummy for 8 hours or so, have a runny nose for 8 hours or so, and cough for a day. No biggie. Except whatever I got recently that lasted 2 months. That sucked. petunia354 on "Do you usually catch LO's cold?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-catch-los-cold#post-2202812 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 09:28:42 +0000 petunia354 2202812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Almost always! It sucks. Not looking forward to him starting school in a few months! autumnlove on "Do you usually catch LO's cold?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-catch-los-cold#post-2202757 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 08:43:03 +0000 autumnlove 2202757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ All the time with LO 1 the first year but not so much anymore. regberadaisy on "Do you usually catch LO's cold?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-catch-los-cold#post-2202719 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 08:24:11 +0000 regberadaisy 2202719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope but DH *always* does and he usually gets it worse. Poor guy! mrs.shinerbock on "Do you usually catch LO's cold?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-catch-los-cold#post-2202712 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 08:20:17 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2202712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yep, if anyone in the house is sick, I usually catch it. Ree723 on "Do you usually catch LO's cold?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-catch-los-cold#post-2202708 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 08:18:43 +0000 Ree723 2202708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Typically, no, even though I am constantly being covered in baby slobber and whatever else. DH though gets them every single time. And every single time, it is man flu, like a serious case of it :silly: Foodnerd81 on "Do you usually catch LO's cold?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-catch-los-cold#post-2202679 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 07:58:28 +0000 Foodnerd81 2202679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Always. Probably because she is obsessed with using my water bottle even though she has almost the exact same one.

That's harder than NOT getting sick!! I do, but not always to the full extent. Sucks!

And, if there's a stomach virus in the house, I will get it. Maybe not as intense as the original patient, but I'll get it! I'm terrified of the Kindergarten germs that will start in the fall! looch on "Do you usually catch LO's cold?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-catch-los-cold#post-2202676 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 07:55:16 +0000 looch 2202676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't, but my husband does. lamariniere on "Do you usually catch LO's cold?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-catch-los-cold#post-2202675 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 07:54:47 +0000 lamariniere 2202675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Gah, yes. As soon as someone had a runny nose, I get it. Maybe I shouldn't smooch them as much when they are sick. :silly: mrsjyw on "Do you usually catch LO's cold?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-usually-catch-los-cold#post-2202672 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 07:51:58 +0000 mrsjyw 2202672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I (typically) don't, but DS has had a head cold the last few days and I woke up with a scratchy throat and am a lil congested this morning... downing fluids as fast as I can...! :bummed:
