I know this is an old post but,there are medicines you can take while pregnant. Not many but your clinic should have a list they should be able to provide you. I know Tylenol is ok. I got the flu with my first at bout 8 weeks and just had a stomach bug my second time around at 8 weeks. Baby and I are ok but I'm not nearly as far along. Just be sure you're staying hydrated sick or not. Hope you're feeling better!

You can't take anything because they can't determine the side effect on the infant. The flu can give you a miscarriage. go to the hospital if you get a fever. set up a doctors appointment as soon as possible. drink lots of water.
