So my husband has the flu but I think we caught it in enough time. He is on medication thank god. Fortunately we can sleep in different rooms but I am still very nervous. I did not get he flu shot because of a horrible reaction when I got it 2 years ago. I did not want to have the same reaction and my doctor at the time thought I may be allergic to it. I am so nervous now! I had a double ear infection a week and half ago and was able to take an antibiotic. I am going to my doctor today and hopefully he can suggestion something for me to take if possible. I do not want to end up with the flu. I needed to vent!
Your doctor may give you a prescription for tamiflu to take if you start getting symptoms (if your doc feels comfortable giving it to a pregnant lady). One of my friends had the flu and went to urgent care, and the doc wrote his wife a prescription just in case.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
If it makes you feel any better the majority of cases in our area are a different strain then what the shot was for. And DH, myself and DS have been feeling crappy for a few days so I'm praying he didn't bring it home from work.

If your doctor is willing - see if you can get a prescription for Tamiflu to take prophylactically. You REALLY don't want to get the flu, but even if you do - you don't want to get full-blown symptoms. I am on day 5 of flu recovery at nearly 36 weeks pregnant, and it is horrible.

Thanks for the advice! My doctor did give me a perscription for Tamiflu but told me that it may not do anything to prevent me from getting it. I am nervous about taking it since it is a Class C drug. I figured I will just monitor myself for the next couple of days and if I start to feel under the weather I will go to the hospital. At least there they can monitor me and the baby. I am praying I will not get it since I really only have about a week left of working too.
