I'm 14 weeks pregnant and have flu like symptoms. I have body aches a headache chills cough and sore throat I don't have health insurance until next Tuesday but I'm concerned for the baby with me being sick. Is the baby going to be okay? I'm trying to stay hydrated and rest... I'm just nervous

Just Stay Hydrated. I Had The Flu 3 Weeks In A Row My First Trimester And My Doctor Said As Long As You Stay Hydrated You Will Be Fine.

Some insurances "back pay" hospital bills. I know medicaid pays up to three months prior to being signed up. Call your insurance and ask. There are also free health clinics, google some in your area. They can tell you if you are sick enough to go to the hospital, or if you're okay to just get like antibiotics and go home. If you feel bad though don't hesitate to go to the hospital just because its expensive! Most hospitals even offer payment plans, or even financial aid. I had a 5,000 $ hospital bill and because I am low income they only made me pay 50$!!!!!

I think I'll just stay hydrated and rest and if i feel worse I'll get checked out. Thanks for the advice ladies!

If Somethin Feels "Wrong" Go To The Hospital.Your Body Will Tell You When It's No Longer Just The Flu. I Got The Flu/Stomach Virus (I Think The Doctor Called It Nerovirus) Wound Up Going Into Early Labor. Thankfully I Only Dilated To A 1 When They Caught It And Stopped It. Just Be Careful And Stay Hydrated And Listen To Your body.

I had the flu around 20 weeks and all is well. Dr gave me that one flu medicine that is on commercials a lot... I forgot what it's called but it's only five pills. I was concerned for baby but he is fine. I'm 32 weeks now. STAY HYDRATED I can not emphasize that enough... fever and dehydration can be really bad for baby so drink LOTS of water. I would say a gallon a day. Go to the Dr. I actually got the flu from going to the ER for severe chest pain.

Go to the ER if you have the flu it could be bad for baby and you!
