i actually JUST had the flu. I im 19 weeks Thursday & I got prescribed tamiflu as well. it is okay to take, I confirmed with hospital & my OBG. I am now better, & my baby is okay. just heard his heat beat Friday & I had already started my medication. & I feel his little pokes right now as well. it won't harm the baby. I took it twice a day for two days. & cough drops. & I am now better. :)
