Flu and early pregnancy

[testy1997]

Am feeling very worried as I have severe flu and am in my first trimester. Everything I read is worrying and makes me dread my 12 week scan and potential birth defects or a baby that doesn't have a heart beat! Am doing my best to keep my temp down to no avail! Anyone who had flu in first trimester who had a healthy pregnancy? Any tips on getting through?? I feel hideous

I don't know whether it was flu or a similar virus but yes I did and everything was fine. I do feel a call to your midwife would be really helpful though. Its so hard not to worry. I'd seek advice/reassurance from the midwife. I hope you feel better soon.

Hi @testy1997 did your 12 weeks scan go ok eventually? I also have a flu and I am 10 weeks pregnant and could do with some reassurance :-)
