Has anyone gotten the flu while pregnant? 32 weeks and my toddler was diagnosed with the flu on Saturday. Woke up this morning with a sore throat (feeling otherwise okay) and am paranoid about this becoming the flu!

Yes I got the flu while pregnant with my twins while taking care of my toddler. It was terrible, but got through it! Talk to your Dr on what you can take to alleviate symptoms and lots of fluids! Eat what you can down. Praying you don’t get it, but if you do you’ll be fine!

I had Covid during one of my pregnancies. You’ll be alright! Fluids, rest, the usual advice.

I had horrid covid, so similar. The risk is sustained high fever, so you just keep an eye on that and take acetaminophen, cool showers, etc to keep it down.

I got a terrible case of the flu early in my IVF pregnancy. My RE wanted me to take tamiflu asap so I’d recommend getting tested as soon as possible (I messed up and waited a few days to go in and they still gave it to me “late” in case there was any benefit). Agree with taking tylenol for fever. Baby ended up being fine but I was miserable.

Is it actual influenza or just a cold? Huge difference. Flu usually comes on really quickly without warning and you’ll experience sudden and incredible fatigue and a high temperature. They usually aren’t any nasal symptoms with influenza.
A sore throat sounds like a cold so you may be okay! I had Covid at 31 weeks and Midwife wasn’t worried. Baby was totally fine. You treat as you normally would. We had lots of rest, oranges and water.

How do you get good at thinking on your feet? I find I always need time to think and analyse before being able to answer client queries (even those that are considered simple by others).

Looking for something a bit more nuanced than a traditional consumer framework. Thanks!
