Yes in fact I described my symptoms to my doctor so well that originally my daughter was diagnosed as the flu. Later of course both me and my doctor realized it was not the flu

Pregnancy can do all kinds of crazy things to your body. In early pregnancy (3 now). I've always felt nauseous, super tired, and incredibly congested. All can be explained by changes taking place in your body and hormones. I guess all of those are symptoms of the flu. However there was never a high fever to indicate that it might be something more serious.

Never did for me! I did feel tired, but very hormonal feeling! Smells are different, sore boobs, pee alot and feeling nauseated, but never felt like flu! Everyone is different though!

no your boobs don't hurt when you get the flu and also you don't miss a period from the flu... and you don't cough all the time like if you had the flu...

Raise in temperature, general malaise, breast tenderness, headachs, fatigue, nausea... yea I guess you're right, that does sound like the flu.

yes, because your energy level is really low and you feel like sleeping most of the time and your muscles are sore. That's how it was for me anyways.

no, but sometimes it seems like you happen to get a cold around the time you find out your pregnant.
