Have just texted all my parents to tell them I am too sick to work. This is my first sick day since becoming a childminder almost 3 years ago.

I have a sore throat and can't talk (why I texted and didn't ring) both my ears feel like I have scratched out there insides and hearing is not good. My tummy feels like its going on a roller coaster all by its self, and my temperature has shot up so I keep going from the boiling hot to freezing cold moments.

Up until this point I was enjoying my pregnancy but now I wish I could take something more than paracetamol. It's just not up to the job.

Poor you. Lots of bed rest and fluids will (eventually) work wonders. Call your GP if you need to, maybe there is something you can take that is safe. x

You poor thing. It sounds like a day in bed is needed.

Would it be worth phoning an out of hours service to see if there is anything else you could take?

Hope you feel better soon xx

poor you honey. get some manuka honey - fab healin properties in general but just great for your throat - you can get a small jar for around a fiver, pop it in your tea or a hot drink or just take a spoonful.

get well soon.
