Flu while 34 (about to be 35) weeks pregnant?

Question

I am going to call my OBGYN tomorrow but my whole body aches, I feel very sick and sleepy all the time, and I feel all stuffy and just not feeling good at all. I'm pretty sure it is the flu but no confirmation. Is this any risk to my baby? I have been staying hydrated and I am not running a fever...

Answer

Sounds like a cold if there's no fever. I had one early in pregnancy and I have one now, 5 days before delivering. Timing sux. Anyway, drink warm fluids, take some meds if your doc says it's ok, hydrate and rest up!

Answer

My doctor told me if I'm not running a fever then it's not the flu.. I had a few days I felt like that at 35 weeks and I just upped my vitamin C and took some Tylenol and rested.. I felt better in a couple days!! Feel better!
