During pregnancy, it is harder for a woman's immune system to fight infections. This makes a pregnant woman more likely to get the flu and other diseases. Pregnant women are more likely than nonpregnant women their age to become very ill if they get the flu. If you are pregnant, you need to take special steps to stay healthy during the flu season.
I wasn’t offered the flu shot by my OB so I completely forgot about it (usually get it) and I think I just came down with the flu. Body aches, chills, temp just hit 100, sore throats, terrible cough, the whole 9. Should I be worried? I’m taking Tylenol & cough drops + salt water gargle, honey, lemon,...

Hi first time poster/pregnancy here! I just came down with the flu (on top of the first trimester symptoms that still haven’t gone away after 15+ weeks…).

I had the flu very early on. Like 5 weeks. It definitely knocked me a lot and I had quite a high fever. I was reluctant to take panadol/tylenol but my midwife said the fever was more dangerous to the baby than the drugs at that point.
Help! I went in and got a flu test yesterday and it was positive. My symptoms up until then had been fatigue, sore thought, coughing and a stuffy nose-no biggie. Last night I came down with a pretty rough fever and of course my husband is out of town and he happened to have the thermometer in his toiletries...
What I thought was severe morning sickness is now the flu I believe I have felt sick and puking once a day at least but last night I was puking every 5-10 minutes … my body was forcing me to throw up ! Then diarrhea Started ! This is my fourth baby so I have never had the stomach flu while pregnant...
I’ve been ill for 3 days. Can’t get out of bed & struggling not being able to take the normal medication to help! The body aches are something else & my throat is so sore. Just want to cry. What are people doing & taking to get through illness while pregnant? X
