Sorry to hear you may have the flu. I am leery of any medication during pregnancy. However, the safety and long-term effects can't be determined unless it's been used for a pretty good amount of time (for swine flu or any other illness). If the medication has been developed recently and specifically for swine flu, I'd question it's safety despite what research shows.
As long as your midwife found a heartbeat, did a pregnancy test that came back positive, or did not tell you that you're no longer pregnant, you are fine as far as miscarriage. Just get plenty of rest, drink lots of fluids, eat well, and take your vitamins...that's all you really can do. It's hard not to worry, but try not to. Not worrying will be better for both you and the baby.
Hope you feel better soon.
this is the info the nhs has on their website, xxxxxhttp://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Pandemic-fl…
Relenza is safe because it does not enter the bloodstream so will not reach the baby. It's important you take it as if you develop complications, that would be when the risks to your baby are higher.
The most important thing in the first trimester is to keep your temp down. Keep a close eye on it and if it is above 38 you need to do everything you can to keep it down - even if that means sitting in a bath of cold water! Don't sweat it out under a duvet. It's important for your baby that you stay cool. Get well soon.
Hiya, im sorry to hear that you are ill. Unfortunately you need much more detailed answers than we can give. There is a lot of information on the NHS website and also newspaper websites have reported a lot on this.
If you are really that worried call NHS direct or your midwife and ask them all the questions you want answered, for something like this its always best to get a professional opinion
Good luck i am sure you and your baby will be fine
Pregnant women are among the highest risks for complications/hospitalization/death from the H1N1 virus. That risk far outweighs any risk the Relenza might offer. If it weren't safe, your midwife wouldn't have given it to you.
Get rid of that flu as fast as you can! The Relenza will help you do it.
I am iffy about taking medications that my doctor gives me also. But, I know that he wouldn't give me something that would hurt my baby. The opros always have to outweight the cons. There is a lot of people that has had it and got treated for it the others were just to late. Take your anti-biotics so you are not contagious anymore and drink plenty of water.
Sorry to hear you have swine flu hun :(
I don't really know anything about it so cant give you much advise but im sure the doc wouldn't give you relenza if it was going to be really harm full to the baby. Im sure everything will be fine.
Take care xxx
Nothing to worry about. Just take high quality vitamins, go out for healthy walks and try not to worry too much.
pray.
