Pregnant and hvg a flu!

[sweetvanilla]

Is there anything to worry about now that I am 6 weeks pregnant I have a flu like symptoms? It is not major but it sure does make me think alot about it because I had a really bad , bad flu on my last pregnancy which ended up with D&C.

If you get what I am trying to say...... :o


Is there anyone here experience the similar thing as me?


Thanks for any input!

I had a cold during my pregnancy (not a flu I think) and was told that being pregnant it would take me longer to get over it, but it wouldn't harm the baby. Advice I was given by GP, was to take paracetamol for headache, muscular aches and to reduce fever (DO NOT TAKE NUROFEN/IBUPROFEN!!), use Vicks Vapour Rub to clear blocked/stuffy nose, gargle salty warm water for sore throat and use lozenges and keep up the fluids and get lots of rest!!!

I'm sorry to hear about your last pregnancy - if you have any concerns see your GP and Ob and take care of yourself. Good luck Z:)

Thanks Zenifa !

I do hv sore throat and abit of runny nose. But the sore throat have done off abit.

The last time I had that bad flu I also took Neurofen and another sort of tablet that have Enchinea(Spell?) but at that time I hv no clues whatsoever that I was pregnant. But anyway, that was the past.

I crave for vegies and fruits alot. I am now actually eating literally a tupperware of watermelons while surfing the Bub Hub!


Thanks again Zen!
