Call your doctor.

Definitely call your doctor.  You need Tamiflu or something similar as soon as possible. There are all sorts of potential developmental issues related to getting flu in pregnancy, which is why flu shots are so highly recommended for pregnant women.  Yu want to make sure you work with your doctor to keep your fever as low as possible for the duration of your symptoms.
