He still is having tummy troubles and using the bathroom a lot. Hopefully, it'll pass soon. Thankfully, DS and I have seemed to avoid it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-husband-is-sick-and-i-have-a-rcs-thursday#post-2446715 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 17:17:26 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2446715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: How's he doing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-husband-is-sick-and-i-have-a-rcs-thursday#post-2445791 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 04:52:49 +0000 Pumuckl 2445791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had my first been born a day or two earlier I would've had to drive myself to the hospital. DH had a stomach bug and was soooo weak on his legs. Luckily he was fine the next day and we just made sure to use lots of disinfectant at home.</p> <p>If he is still sick come tomorrow I'd call your OB and ask whether you can reschedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-husband-is-sick-and-i-have-a-rcs-thursday#post-2445756 Tue, 02 Feb 2016 01:51:42 +0000 gingerbebe 2445756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like norovirus. My husband had it this past month and I'm 6 months pregnant. He was okay within 3 days and I was able to avoid it. Stay away from him, don't share any drink or food with him, use separate bathrooms, and make him Lysol EVERYTHING in the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-husband-is-sick-and-i-have-a-rcs-thursday#post-2445623 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 22:30:09 +0000 Ash 2445623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: Thursday???? What!!!!</p> <p>I hope he feels better soon. i wouldn't want him to give what he has to a new baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-husband-is-sick-and-i-have-a-rcs-thursday#post-2445604 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 22:10:05 +0000 travellingbee 2445604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hopefully it's a quick bug. Quarantine him! I feel your pain. I had bronchitis and a sinus infection three days before my schedule induction and I was freaking out. Antibiotics got it under control just in time and I was ok. Didn't even notice being sick while in labor and postpartum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-husband-is-sick-and-i-have-a-rcs-thursday#post-2445588 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 22:00:21 +0000 skipper2010 2445588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He should be fine by Thurs. Those stomach bugs don't last too long usually. Just do everything you can to avoid getting it. If you don't have a fever they probably won't postpone it, but the last thing you need is to be heaving when you have a new incision. I was getting over a bad cold when I had my RCS and the coughing was the worst! Good luck and hopefully you'll all be healthy in time for Thurs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-husband-is-sick-and-i-have-a-rcs-thursday#post-2445520 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 21:19:26 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2445520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH and LO1 both got what we think was norovirus the week after LO2 was born. I had to take care of both of them plus the newborn as I recovered from my RCS! </p> <p>That said, if there is anyone who can over and bleach every surface in your house and wash/lysol everything else, I would do it. You probably are way too exhausted for that and should probably rest up (and not breathe all the chemicals) but dealing with it afterwards will be so much worse :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-husband-is-sick-and-i-have-a-rcs-thursday#post-2444943 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 15:00:33 +0000 peachykeen 2444943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Flu does cause fever but shouldn't cause vomiting or diarrhea. Hopefully it's just a 24-hr stomach bug - I bet he's fine (if tired/weak) for your LO's birth. Could you have someone come by to scrub your house really well either beforehand or while you are in the hospital? I'd hate for you or new baby to be exposed to his germs - stomach bugs like norovirus tend to really stick around! </p> <p>As far as I know, though - if you get sick it shouldn't affect the pregnancy as long as you stay hydrated. Sorry you're dealing with this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-husband-is-sick-and-i-have-a-rcs-thursday#post-2444922 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 14:53:59 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2444922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no. Maybe call and talk to a primary about getting him tested for the flu so he could start that med if necessary. I mean hopefully its just a 24 hour bug! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-husband-is-sick-and-i-have-a-rcs-thursday#post-2444898 Mon, 01 Feb 2016 14:45:10 +0000 ladybee 2444898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is currently throwing up, has the poops, and a fever. I'm having a RCS on Thursday (I'll be 39 week).</p> <p>Will he be able to go into the OR with me? Should I call my OB? If I get sick, what does that mean for the baby? I'm freaking out, any advice? </p>
