Flu at 34 weeks?

Question

I got this bad virus thing my daughter has and it hit me like a bus. I’m worried I’m dehydrated? I’m drinking like absolute crazy but my lips are pale and mouth is constantly dry it’s like I didn’t even have anything to drink at all, my whole body aches so bad, sore-ish throat, I’m having back and belly pain, and last night I was up throughout the night with loose stools I don’t know what’s going on. Is there anything I should be concerned about for the baby? Any steps I should be taking?

Answer

I had the flu a few weeks ago and ended up in the hospital needing fluids and medicine. Listen to your body and don’t push it too far if you get dehydrated.

Answer

If you don’t know whether you’re dehydrated or not keep an eye on your urine color. it should be light yellow or almost clear-if it is then you are adequately hydrated. If it a dark yellow color you are dehydrated and should try to drink more or call your doctor. I know someone else mentioned gatorade too to replace electrolytes if you are having a lot of vomiting/diarrhea. Hope you feel better soon!

Answer

Gatorade will help hydrate, when I had Influenza B it helped get me through.  Its not fun just rest as much as possible!

Answer

Keep an eye on the fever if u get one and it doesn’t go away after u take some Tylenol and it keeps getting higher that 101 go see a Dr. Keep on drinking lots of water. I got flu A a few weeks ago and it made my skin look yellow ,dry& lips. I ended up going to the hospital bcs my fever wasn’t going down after taking several Tylenols over the hrs . When i got there they monitor my baby and her heart rate was going up bcs of the fever. So i had to get an IV and more Tylenol and tamiflu & had to drink more water.

Answer

I had the flu at 25 weeks. Stay hydrated as much as possible, and relax. It sucked but there’s really nothing else that can be done. If your fever is higher than 100.4 take some Tylenol and if it doesn’t go down, see the doctor
