My mother-in-law is in town for my baby shower on Sunday, she flew in today and after I hugged her and sat down at the table for lunch, she tells me that she is sick with a cold, and traveled despite not feeling well.
We proceeded to eat, and I tried to keep my distance, but she then came to our home and immediately took a nap while she waited for her hotel room to be available. She was coughing and somewhat congested-sounding. I don't know if i'm just being sensitive, but I feel like it's pretty inconsiderate to still travel and be near a pregnant woman while so unwell.
I was supposed to take her with me to run baby shower errands and last minute decor tomorrow, but I almost want to ask that she just stay in and rest, as to also not potentially get me sick. Is this so unreasonable? My people pleasing tendencies are feeling so bad but I was already sick once in the first trimester and I was MISERABLE. Now i'm 29 weeks and have already been dealing with some hip and back pain since I'm still working full time, and the last thing I want to is to be sick again. HELLLLPPP
