You could try hot water with honey/lemon for a sore throat and then Greek yogurt helps with loose stools. You can also try a eucalyptus oil in a warm bath or shower for you sinuses( I would recommend a bath so you don't fall in the shower).

Im 24 weeks with similar symptoms.  Went to the doctors 2 days ago and they wouldn't give me anything. Ive had this for a week now amd it *****. Started with a sore throat then a runny nose and chesty cough which I still have but now my sinuses are killing me and when I go to the toilet it is like water. The doctor didn't want to give me anything because of the baby. I'm reaching the end of my patience. Im tired of feeling like this.

Call your doctor, I had the H1N1 at 21 weeks it was horrible ughh. But you can take the tamiflu they prescribe so if u do have the flu its best to get meds now.
