THE FLU!

I just went to the hospital because I haven't been feeling well since last night, an come to find out I have the flu! :/   she said it's a good thing I got the shot when I found out I was pregnant because it could have been a lot worse! I'm on bed rest and a soup and water diet. Just wanted to say make sure you ladies and your loved ones get the flu shot! She said a lot of people are dying from the flu this yr!!

Don't worry if you got the shot then you'll be okay hun! You might still get it, like I did but it won't be as bad. It would be a lot worse if we didn't get the shot!  She told me since I'm pregnant that they can't give me any medication for it and to just stay rested and drink lots of fluids in small amounts.

I just posted about this in the other forum last night after reading about the woman who caught the flu before getting the vaccine and both her and her baby passed. I got my first one a couple of weeks ago and am so happy I did! I hope you feel better and take care!!
