Flu early pregrency

[kbdkhsu]

Hello, I have taken 3 pregnancy tests and it all came faint positive (two got darker the next day). I am now, if my calculations are correct 4 weeks pregnant. This morning I felt that I am starting to have sore throat and it developed during the day, with a slight fever.
Is it considered as a pregrency sign as well? If I am pregnant, can I take tylenol to help a little?

You can certainly develop a cold and sore throat, but that's not flu unless you are being diagnosed with it. I just had the flu during Christmas and New Year and it's nothing like a sore throat and slight fever.

You can take paracetamol, it's safe in pregnancy.

If you get worse you should see your GP obviously.

Hopefully you just have a seasonal cold.

A sore throat and slight temperature is not flu. You have a cold.

Stick with paracetamol (whatever brand name it is where you are) to be safe unless advised by your dr.
I had influenza B when I was 7 weeks pregnant and ended up hospitalized. Had been vaccinated but was exposed before vaccine could take effect. Worst two weeks ever with the limitations around what drugs I could take but 28 weeks now and baby looks healthy and is growing well.
Fingers crossed for you that it's a cold and not full blown flu!

It is great to hear that the baby is doing ok. Thank you for the relieving answer.

Thank you all for the answers, I am now feeling a little bit better. No sore throat but little bit congested. I am on a lot of fluids.
fingers crossed.

That's not flu!
