I am now 31. How did that happen? And more to the point, aren't I now officially "GROWN-UP"? Anything over the age of 20 is ancient when your young, so yes, I suppose I am meant to be older and wiser. So you would think I would know a think or two about staying healthy, especially given my career choice.
Last week I was hit by a particularly nasty illness - no, not flu, bronchitus, an infection or even a virus. It's called "don't-you-know-a-damn-thing-about-looking-after-yourself" coupled with "particularly-when-you're-pregnant". Nasty. I feel for you if you've ever had either of them. Basically run down to the point of your body saying "I am going to make you feel SO rubbish you have no choice but to stay in bed for 4 days". Yes, temperature, hot/cold sweats, no appetite (that's the worst one), thumping head, achey joints and general yuckiness.
So... the moral of this story? Look after yourself. Summer is over and the cold is setting in, even if you're resisiting it like mad and still going out in t-shirts...
Eat well and healthily - but SUITABLY for the autumn/winter, stay hydrated, stay exercising and wrap up warm. Get plenty of rest and sleep. This goes for everyone, pregnant or not - and you should avoid those horrid bugs. I'll learn from myself one of these days!!!
