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,...
@awatters24, completely understand! I got the flu shot without realizing I was pregnant (I was around 3 weeks) and no matter what the doctors say, we have our own internal instincts and injecting ourself with a vaccine while pregnant stresses me out.
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.
I’ll be 31 weeks pregnant tomorrow and I’m pretty sure I have the flu. I’ve felt off since Friday but yesterday was horrible, all night last night and now this morning.I’m not running a fever but here are my symptoms:-body aches and chills-extreme nausea-fatigue but so uncomfortable that I can’t sleep-stuffy...
Yep. I wasn't really told to get anything but my tdap for my first pregnancy (rather inattentive ob), which I did, but I got all the vaccines widely recommended with my second (flu included).
The flu during 1st trimester - ectopic? December 01, 2024 | by Soon2BeMum25 I have been sick with the flu for the past week with symptoms starting last Sunday and progressively getting worse.
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...
But I also puked my brains out for 1 day while sick, that totally sucked. I find pregnancy makes a cold way different than when you’re not pregnant. I didn’t take anything as nothing is considered “safe” during pregnancy as they haven’t tested anything.
