How do you handle this fear when your kids are sick? How do you avoid getting sick, even when they throw up right on you? Do you do anything to boost your immune system? Especially during the cold/flu season? Do you know what is safe during pregnancy?

I'm really nervous about how I will be with this baby. I'm sure I'll want to keep the baby in a bubble all the time... but the step kids will still bring stuff in... I know my husband is supportive and will help me with whatever comes. I hope that I can get over it somewhat for my baby though.. I don't want to be a bad mother

I've been told to take extra vitamin C and D and this sambucus stuff (elderberry) and these things are supposedly safe. Just looking for any other ideas...

I figure if I can boost my immunity maybe it'll make it easier for me to handle the hard times.
