What pregnant women do when influence by H1N1?

If you get sick with flu-like symptoms, stay home, limit contact with others, and call your doctor. Your doctor will decide if testing or treatment is needed. Tests may include a nasal swab which is best to do within the first 4-5 days of getting sick. Like regular flu, H1N1 flu may make other medical problems worse.

While sleeping may be difficult, try to lay down and rest. If you can sleep, try to get a nap. If you are having difficulty breathing when lying down consider propping yourself up with some pillows to ease your breathing.

If you are alone at any time, have someone check in with you often if you are feeling ill. This is always a good idea.

If you have close contact with someone who has H1N1 flu or is being treated for exposure to H1N1 flu, contact your doctor to discuss whether you need treatment to reduce your chances of getting the flu.

Rest assured that a brief fever is unlikely to do any harm and can be treated with acetaminophen. But if the fever gets really high or lasts a long time, it's best to call your doctor.

Even if you don't feel like eating, be sure to stay well hydrated. When you can eat try to eat well.
