I got the flu during the 1st trimester, so I already felt pretty icky. I just drank plenty of fluids and rested. I slept a lot more than I was awake during that week or so

I got the flu  a week before me due date with my first. I felt terrible. My midwife assured me that even tho I was feeling bad, my baby was good. And your body won't go into labour because all ur energy is focused on healing from sickness. Just try to stay hydrated and rest.

I got the flu a few weeks ago and was prescribed tamiflu.. it worked right away I was nervous about taking any medication but my doctor said the risk of the flu hurting the baby is worse than the medication

I had the flu before I knew I was pregnant so I was confused why my boobs hurt.  The flu doesn't cause that. Lol just rest and get lots of water.

I got the flu and was out sick for a week. The doctor said the medications don't really help and just to rest and drink a lot of fluids. If you can't keep fluids down make sure you don't get dehydrated.

Yes I had the flu and didn't realize how sick I had gotten and it turned into pneumonia. I was hospitalized for 9 days with it. I would go to the dr and get some tamiflu or something
