My son was positive this morning with the flu. Doc gave me a flu shot , not that that will help me now. Just wondering if any of you have had to deal with the flu while pregnant. Everyone on my street seems sick with it.
:hug:'s I had the flu {twice <_< } while I was pregnant and it was not fun at all. There wasn't much I could take for relief and that was the hardest part. I hope that it passes quickly for you. It doesn't affect the babies at all, other then their momma is a tired, sick mess. :hug:
No, thank goodness. The flu is not fun when you are not pregnant so I can't imagine getting it while pregnant. I hope you stay flu free and your DS gets over it quickly. :hug:
Was I supposed to get a flu shot since I am pregnant? I didn't get one this year. Should I ask my doctor to give me one?

When I went to the doc she said "oh you should have had a flu shot already" and I was like, am I supposed to tell you to give me one! Your the doc why didnt you give me one. I've been seeing her since I was 12 weeks pregnant. I didnt even know I could have one! Geesh!!
Haha thats what I was thinking?? I figured they would have told me to get one because I remembered my sister had to get one when she was pregnant. Well I guess I will bring it up at my next appointment then! Thanks!
I had it at about 15 weeks and got so dehydrated that I had to have an iv bag of fluids. Keep as much liquid in you as possible. If you are peeing a lot less, call the doc and let them know. Hope you don't get sick!

[SIZE=12pt]I never get the flu shot, and this past Thanksgiving our entire family got some kind of bug.. it was only vomiting and diarrhea. I only got the sick part and I chalked it up to pregnancy then realized once the family got it that was probably what I had. Then the whole family got it again at Christmas.. thank the Lord though I did not even though I was nursing everyone else.[/SIZE]
I am actually fighting it right now. My in-laws asked to see my daughter KNOWING that their son had the flu.... well we let her go over and she came home with a fever and all SOOO sick. Its been 2 weeks and shes still fighting it. A week for my husband and I trying to get over it. I was really upset cause they knew he was sick and still had her over not tellin us and got me with no immune system and having a c section in a week........... U THINK PEOPLE WOULD HAVE CONSIDERATION! Oh well sorry to vent. Its horrible though. Cause you really cant take much.
I had it all day yesterday... IN THE HOSPITAL!!!! It was a mess... I was hooked up to fluids and they took more blood then at a vampire convention!!! Thet were worried it was pre-eclampsia not the flu... only time ever I was glad for the flu!
