**Flu** 🤒🤧😷

My BIL got the H1N1 when his daughter was about 1 week old (& 1 mo premature). They managed to avoid spreading it by very careful disinfection. If you can’t leave with the healthy 2 year old before you both catch it try wearing a mask and using Lysol to disinfect all shares surfaces frequently. Good luck!

Just recovering from the flu from two weeks ago and I did not visit the doctor but everything I read said the baby should be protected thanks to the placenta and the cough shouldn’t affect it. I took Tylenol, hot showers for steam, bought a warm water vaporizer with menthol tabs for nighttime, drank lots of tea with honey, rested a lot, drank Gatorade, and slept with pillows and breathe right nose strips to try to decrease coughing at night. Hope any of those home remedies can help you too!

Just got over the flu at 17 weeks (very aggressive vomiting, low fever, etc) and my only advice is to spend as much time in bed as possible. The moment you can keep liquids down drink lots of water (Gatorade helped too but I couldn't handle it the first night). I have no kids and my husband wasn't sick, so I was able to rest a lot. I hope you can fit some resting in! It'll be hard with a sick baby and hubby but you need to take it easy for your growing baby. Best of luck!

Yes. I had a fever and vomitted and running nose etc etc. I took Tylenol for the fever and kept it down. Drink lots because you dont want to get dehydrated!!! :)

I had a stomach bug over Christmas and I’m on my second cold now

Not flu but I had pneumonia twice last year with my daughter. So not fun with pregnant. I made sure to get the flu shot this time around.

I’m 17 weeks today and sick as can be. As long as you keep your fever down, I’m pretty sure it’s okay. ❤️ rest rest rest!
