Immunocompromise

The very evening I found out I was pregnant I started to come down with my first viral illness. That particular bout last 5 days and saw me retiring to bed with high fevers and only paracetamol in my arsenal for treatment. 

No sooner had I recovered from that episode - exactly four weeks after it started to be precise - I came down with my second virus. This time it was a higher temperature and I ended up going to the GP as a precaution. 

In total I needed five days off work in March, which is five more than I'd had off in my previous six month placement. 

Not and idyllic start to my first pregnancy!
