Liske, that sounds a lot more like a cold than the flu. At least I hope it stays that mild. The flu can be deadly to pregnant women so if you get more symptoms like a high fever or body aches you def need to go to the ER. Take care of yourself, mama! <3

It is the flu, it's going around here, and symptoms are the same. Some get it worse than others, but i almost never get a high fever (last time was like 16 years ago). The danger with flu is it can lead to infections at the airways (? Not sure how to say this correctly in English lol) I m careful tho: rest a lot, i drink my water with fresh lemon juice, the thyme and eucalyptol desinfect when i damp, ... I slept quite well last night so i feel a lot better than yesterday. Should it get worse, i ll immediately call the doctor (i do that for the least i worry anyway lol) But for now i think positive: i'm giving my boy some good antibodies.

Btw: damping with thyme is awesome: desinfects, thins mucus and sooths. Last night my whole face hurt, but it was gine after damping. And my nose stayed clear till morning this time...
