Hi everyone,

I know that most people on this site are terrified of getting swine flu but i have just read the nhs direct site and seen the news and it states that pregnant women are in the "high risk" sector. I am 18 weeks pregnant and will be in my third trimester when they say it will be at its highest in oct/ nov. I am absolutly terrifed. i cant get through the day without thinking that i wont make christmas and keep picturing my own funeral and seeing me laid in a coffin. aaarrgghhh will this ever go away. i sometimes wish i wasn't pregnant which i know is awful but i am not going to enjoy any part of this pregnancy from now on. I can't sleep which can't be could for the baby. What do thye mean by "high risk" ?? does it mean more likley to get it or more likley to die?? please help i'm at my wits end and can't stop crying.

Sal
