flu and pregnancy

I have the flu.  When should I go to the doctor? Iv never had this with my last 4 pregnancies.  Iv vomited about 6 times already since 7am this morning.

Thank you both! I went in yesterday afternoon and they said that it wasn't the flu or a virus. It was just pregnancy causing me to throw up. They just said that if it happens again to come in and they will hook my up to an iv again like they did.

I had the stomach flu about a month ago.. I know how you feel! It's awful.. but just stay hydrated, and lots of rest. If you're worried and can't get ahold of your doctor.. you can always go to the er. Once you stop vomiting, and can eat, eat light! Hope this helps!

If you're vomiting,  it's unlikely to be influenza.  It sounds like you may have a stomach virus or food poisoning.  Can you call your doctor for advice?  The most pressing concern is probably dehydration.  Best wishes.
