No. your baby is fine. When i was pregnant with my 2 year old daughter I had the flu early on. I went to the doctor and she explained to me that the babys are very well protected, and as much as you are feeling crappy, the baby doesnt feel a thing. Dont worry about it, just make sure you take all natural cough drops and not to take any cough medicine nasal spray etc..Congratulations and get some rest because in a few months the last thing you'll be worrying about is the flu!! :) Good luck with everything and God Bless.

No, probally not, but I'm not a doctor. But I was really sick when I was pregnant with my daughter. You know you can also ask a pharmacist at your local Wal-Mart or any pharmacist and they should be able to tell you what medicines are safe to take while pregnant. I know that sudafed is, but that's all I know for a fact that is.

Unfortunately, yes. The earlier you are in a pregnancy, the more vulnerable your baby is. Try to get better as soon as you can, take vitamin C and get lots of rest.

the flu itself cant hurt the baby.the problems arise from being dehydrated and the fever.when you are pregnant you shouldnt let your temp get over 101.it can cause damage to the fetus.just tke good care of yourself and you and your baby will be ok

i think yes, and you should have to take medicines but be sure to ask your doctor if the midicine you are taking is safe.
