this year it doesnt matter if you get the vaccine or not. The flu vaccine doesnt work against this strand. I got the vaccine and still got the flu.

Yes, the flu is dangerous to everyone and more dangerous for preg women, children, and seniors.  Doc can test & give you tamiflu.  Call OB right away.

I'm 33weeks and 6days. I just got out the hospital I was in ICU for a week and once I got moved out of ICU I stay in the hospital for another week with the flu. You should go to the Dr and get tested to see if you have it. I waited thinking it was just a cold and it got so bad it was had to breathe. Get well soon!
