Flu at 37+5 days anyone else had the flu during pregnancy?

Question

Ladies, it started on Friday I started getting a fever, cough, sore throat, body ache, and nausea. The following morning I woke up sweating and woke up with a fever we went immediately to L&D Emergency. They prescribed me Tamiflu and to take Tylenol as needed to bring fever down. Anyone taken Tamiflu during pregnancy? I’m on my last trimester and I know doctor said it’s safe but you just worry if it really is and if has any side effects for baby? Any mommas have any experience with flu during pregnancy? Lmk!

Answer

Just getting over it, 37+5, influenza b and an upper respiratory infection.
You’ll be completely miserable for about 5 days. Mine I was down and out for a week in my room coughing terribly. Spiked a fever three times. Send me a message if you need anything. It’ll get better. 
They didn’t do much for me other than say rest and fluids. I did however do basic NyQuil for comfort, they gave me tamiflu and an antibiotic for the URI. I needed an inhaler as well.
You got this! I cleaned as I could too and kept the house as sanitized as well. Family went on a preventative!
Good luck!!

Answer

My 5 year old had it and unfortunately passed it to me I was about 35 weeks when i got it I'm now almost 38 weeks. Coughing hurt and the Tamiflu made me sick. It was rough sleeping I used mints for the sore throat and tried to keep my head propped up but I was still up coughing most of the night.. It went away for about 2 days then came back for a couple of days. Lasted probably close to 2 weeks total. I recommend keep water or something to drink with you at all times.
