Their mom wants me to have my sister in law come and stay at my house to get her away from the sick sis, but I am also pregnant and I have a 10 month old son. The sisters share a room, they are always together and they share drinks, food, smoke off the same pipes, ect. I would think that if the older sis is sick with the h1n1, that the younger pregnant sister will have it very soon, because of how close they are. They are upset that I wont let her come and stay at my house but I do not think that is a good idea, I dont want to get it and I do not want my baby to get it! I believe that shes going to get it whether she is here or there and all that would happen if she came here is that me and my baby would catch it too. Also we went over the their house last night and had dinner with them, and it pissed me off that they always invite us over and when we get their someone is always sick, but they never warn us first! I hate that, isnt that rude? I always warn people if me or my kids are sick, before they come over, especially if they have kids or are pregnant, I just think its common sense. But they never warn us, then we always end up sick. So does anyone know for sure if it would be ok to have the younger pregnant sister come over to stay here with us, if shes not showing any symptoms? I think the parents should put her up in a motel. Well thanks and God bless you all.
I wouldn’t let her stay with me if I were you. It may sound selfish but it’s not… you need to take care of yourself and your babies. You have been exposed since you were over there already though so if you start showing symptoms, you should let your doctor know ASAP so that they can get you started on Tamiflu. Good luck!
If you are a hypochondriac like me then NO I would not let her come stay with you. However, on the other hand, you’ve already been exposed to the virus so god forbid, you may still get it anyways. I hope for your and your childrens’ sakes that you don’t.
I think that it is correct not letting your sister in law staying in your house*!!!
People can contract a virus and go several days before they show symptoms, I think you’re making the right decision not allowing her over. She should contact her doctor immediately and ask if it is too late for the vaccination. You should do the same. If she comes down with any symptoms she should ask her doctor for Tamiflu immediately. The family needs to make sure they are following strict good hygiene practices and the sister should either relocate to another room and avoid the sick sister or head to a friend’s house for the duration of the illness.
I would not be letting her come, she is more then likely to get the virus. You are also now at risk for being at their house, that was very selfish of them not to tell you they had H1N1 seeing the danger it puts not only you and your unborn baby in, but your other son as well. You have every right to be upset with them.
