Have you had your flu vaccine yet? If not I'd recommend getting it. There's a small risk of complications from flu in pregnancy (especially later pregnancy) and the vaccine will dramatically reduce that risk.

If they mostly have colds, which is more likely, don't worry; a cold in pregnancy won't negatively affect your baby. It would just be unpleasant for you! It would still be good to get the flu jab in case.
