Flu while pregnant?

[6diamonds]

Have any of you had the flu while pregnant? I have it now and I'm miserable. I think I got it from my 9th grader, he had it last week.

OMG yes and I didn't realize I was pregnant. I was about 4 weeks along, and it was the worse. I usually don't get the flu but this year I did. I was extremely weak, no appetite, constantly sleepy, body aches, sweats/chills. My doctor prescribed the Z-Pack. I am so glad I am better. Just get plenty of rest and drink a lot of fluids.

I have twice!!! It's rough and I think pregnancy makes it harder. Hope you get better fast!

No, I didn't get a flu shot and we never have. We usually don't get the flu. We will definitely start getting the flu vaccine each year. Surprisingly, I feel much better today than I did yesterday. My ObGyn called in a prescription for Tamiflu which I started last night and took my second dose this morning. As of now, my only symptoms are fatigue and little to no apatite. The fever, body aches, headache, and nausea have gone away.
