    I'm sorry you're feeling this way. The truth is, it could be pregnancy or the flu, there's no way to tell. I'm 6+2 and my symptoms have been mild and not at all flu like but my experience as no bearing on yours, everyone is different! 
    Also, we have a weekly symptoms thread where we can post this type of stuff and commiserate and offer support/suggestions. Feel free to jump in there! 
    Drink lots of water, rest, and I hope you feel better soon!

    Hi. I am currently 5w1d and now getting over actual influenza. Generally speaking, if you have the flu, there's no mistaking it. That being said, I can't diagnose you over the Internet. The most dangerous aspect of flu while pregnant is fever, which should be aggressively treated. Other symptoms include fatigue, body aches, chills, stuffy/runny nose, cough, and headache. Generally more children have nausea/vomiting, whereas most adults do not. If you are concerned I would suggest you visit your doc.

    As PP said, it's really hard to tell. But I will say during week 6 I was so sick it felt like I had the flu. I was so nauseous even my medicine didn't help (Zofran) and weak and couldn't go to work. This week I'm soooooo much better. However, I do think it was pregnancy because for a couple of hours in the afternoons I felt better and could do stuff but then went back to being miserable in the PM (and AM).

    If you have the flu, you'll have a fever. If you don't have a fever, it's highly unlikely that you have the flu.
