Norovirus- gastroenteritis
in Baby
I might sound so silly but im so paranoid of catching it im constantly thinking about it!! I got it last new years eve and was so so ill. Jayden was only 9 weeks then and was so lucky for him not to get it. But now its that time of year again and its all on the news im so scared of getting it again. I know if its going to happen itll happen but i just cant stop thinking about it! Am I weird?! Is anyone else worried?

I'm not worried about getting it at the moment as I don't know anyone who has had it, But, I can understand you being worried as you canclearly remember how horrid it was.
One thing you can do to protect yourself is to use hand antibacterial gel whenn your out and about to kill any germs.
Like you i dont plan on going ANYWHERE!! Im avoiding everywhere like the plague! xx
I totally understand what you mean.I have had 2 sickness bugs since the 4th of December which was my sons birthday.The last one was def the Norovirus as I was so ill and I still had to look after the kids after being up all night with sickness and the other.We have shut ourselves away now till christmas!!
The only thing is that I have 2 friends coming round tomorrow for coffee with their los and I am seriously thinking of cancelling!!! In case we catch anything more.
It has being going round my sons school and they had to issue new guidelines for kids to stay away from school for 48 hours after the last symptems
.I have just been to tesco and brought milton and dettol to disinfect everything - I already use the anti-bac hand wash and stuff so not much else I can do.
I just don't want to be sick at christmas. :roll:

Oh I'm the same! So worried about getting it-I went to town with my daughter today-and she was sick!!
She's 11 and I got into a real panic over it all!! However she had just treated herself-to a really chocolty hot chocolate and marshmellows!! and had no temp been sick twice but that was within 1hour of each other and not close together and nothing for the last 3-4hours so I think it is just a lesson in gluttony for her!! Bless she was so shocked!
I hope you all have a wonderful christmas and that you all manage to stay healthy!!
