kind of worried

I live in wisconsin and I don't know about everywhere else but here its flu season. I'm 39 weeks tomorrow and I could have her any day. I'm really nervous about people coming to see her and getting her sick. Even if they don't seem sick, they can still have the virus in them. We have a huge bottle of hand sanitizer here that I WILL make people use but that doesn't cover their mouths. I want to buy masks and make people wear them. Am I being overprotective and not worry about it? Or does anyone have any ideas??

I live in WI as well and i dont even want to go out the door without a mask or a scarf covering my mouth.. Everyone is coughing or sneezing or rubbing there nose.. Im like HAND sanitizer to the rescue! Id just ask them to wash there hands with warm water for a min. and you should be okay.. anyone you see with noticeable signs id have wear a mask and not hold your baby..

My niece son is only about 3 weeks old now and he was put in the hospital yesterday due to RSV and asthma and the flu! We all tried to tell her she didn't need to be getting him out and she wouldn't listen! Only people that was at home with him has been family but she has had him out everywere and now he is the one suffering! I am due in 2 weeks and I will only have him out if I have to but that's it! And if anyone comes around that even has a cold they are not gonna be able to come out to my house! If people don't understand then they can kiss my hinny cause I have to think about not just me but most my baby boy and his sister!

I may not be much of a help since im only 20 weeks... but TRY ur hardest to stay away from that flu!!!! I had it and it lasted me 8 days!! its the most horrible feeling in the world!! I lost a couple of pounds because of it and it really really ***** to have it!! I felt like I was dying.. I did EVERYTHING I possibly can to avoid it but in the end I ended up with it... just try not to leave ur house a lot lol I know its hard but it the best thing to do... and stay with ur hand sanitizer and Clorox spray but keep it away from u becuz it has toxins... just drink a lot of fluids and eat right.
