Anyone had the flu yet?

Question

Has anyone gotten the flu and baby was ok? My husband went to urgent care and they told him he has the flu. I’m so worried I’m going to get it from him. And not just me, but my five year old as well. Going to call my doctor tomorrow and ask if there’s anything I can take just in case. I’m more worried about the fever since his was almost 104.

Answer

Have him wear a mask, quarantine him to one bedroom in the house, stay hydrated, eat as healthy as you can, and Lysol, Lysol, lysol!!

Answer

My husband had the flu when my son was 6 months. We literally quarantined him in our bedroom and if he came out it was wearing a mask just to get food or water. If I went in there to check in him, I wore a mask. I slept in another room with our son. And lysoled everything in our house. Especially if he came out to touch anything. We never got it.

Answer

Good luck

Answer

I just got over it a few weeks ago and baby and me are totally fine. They gave me Tamiflu and did the same to my husband so he didn’t get it. Might want to ask for a preventative Tamiflu Rx so you’re safe. Be aware- you take it differently than you would if you did have the flu. Practice good hygiene and don’t be near him much the first 3-5 days and you’ll be fine!

Answer

It’s not just baby at risk here. I know as a wife, you’ll want to take care of him. But please keep your distance, especially where you opted not to get the flu shot. Disinfect the house. And make sure your taking care of your body as best you can just in case (not that you aren’t already).

Answer

Try to keep him in a separate room from you and your 5 yo, my husband gets everything I mean everything, so he stays upstairs while my 3 yo and I stay down stairs, and we clean like freaks with Clorox wipes I keep one in his bathroom so if he gets vomiting or diarrhea he cleans his bathroom Everytime after use. Flu season hasn't hit our town yet but thats my plan since I am 17 weeks tomorrow and I don't want my 3 yo or myself getting it

Answer

Not this year no, but I did last year (Feb 2017) & had just found out I was pregnant. I had a high fever & everything. My 1yo is fine now but I wouldn’t have even known I was pregnant with her for a couple more weeks except my sister asked my if I was sure the flu wasn’t masking pregnancy symptoms
