Pregnant with flu

[Wishbone2023]

i am utterly miserable and looking for any reassurance that things will get better soon

i have flu B, 6 weeks pregnant
ended up in hospital but they discharged me to home, im constantly weak and constantly tired but can’t sleep

im still having night sweats even though i dont have a fever anymore. I desperately want to sleep but cant without waking up after 30 mins and covered in sweat

Please tell me when it will get better? This is the worst i have felt in my whole life

Sorry OP, I had it in January and flu alongside pregnancy is just pure evil

it’s been a really shit winter for bugs, I didn’t feel like myself again for nearly 2 weeks. The not sleeping thing was the worst as it feels impossible for your body to recover without a good nights sleep

in the meantime sleep when you can, in the day, on the sofa, if you’re sleepy then just grab what you can. Also do whatever you need for some comfort, I ate a lot of ice lollies (struggled to swallow other food) and watched nostalgic films

hoping it passes soon but in the meantime you really have my sympathy xx

Fly in pregnancy is awful, especially in the first trimester when you already feel like you've been hit by a bus!
Hope you feel better soon.
