Ugh...It's the flu

in Pregnant after 35
I've had the flu for two days now and it is miserable.  I swear I picked it up at my first dr's visit b/c nobody else I knkow has it.  Anyway, I have been taking regular Tylenol, drinking H2O and OJ and eating soup and crackers.  I was hesitant to take anything for congestion after reading conflicting articles on decongestants during the first tri.  I think I'll give my doc a call.  I hope you all avoid the bug!

    Sorry to hear about the flu! Did you get the flu shot? Weird question, I know, but I'm feeling kinda down today and am wondering whether I am still gonna get sick! ARGH!

    Ugh...My SO had it last week.  I got my flu shot the same day he started developing symptoms, so I was really afraid I would get it, too.  But so far, I've been OK.  Hope you are feeling better soon.

    I tried to get a flu shot the week before at our health center at work but the nurse wouldn't give it to me until I talked to my ob.  Of course I forgot to ask the doc about it when I went in for my first visit and here we are.  Thanks for the tip on the saline spray...my nose is burning from blowing it so much!

    Yuck....I had the flu at 32 week preg with Emerson.  I had to be hopsitalized for a night.  There's absolutely nothing you can take except Tylenol.  It sucks....I'm sorry!
