Swine flu, pregnancy and your baby

Swine flu, pregnancy and your baby

You will likely have been extremely concerned by newspaper headlines publicizing the potential dangers of swine flu, While you shouldn’t panic, do keep in mind that when you’re pregnant you may be more vulnerable to the infection.

i spoke to my dr and said not to go for it, they have not done enough studies on pregnant ladies, or other for that matter, and dr do not know enough about what the outcome of it will be, you could become worse off for having it with all sorts of bad symptoms, or you could be just fine, but its not a gamble you should take unless you are a seriously ill person. just keep taking your vitamins.eat healthy and and stay clear of any one who has got the flu. thats what i know and think.
