Q: Pregnant And the Flu

Right now I have a temperature of 100.2, a sore throat, an aching back, a bad head ache, and I'm sweating...

I'm pretty sure I have the flu and I am 5 weeks pregnant and every once in a while i get a cramp...

Is this anything to go to the emergency room about?

I mean If its not I can always go to the doctor in the morning and just wait it out but I cant sleep........ I feel so cough

Unfortunately there is not much you can take for the flu when you are pregnant. My best advice would be to get plenty of rest and drink lots of water. Hope you feel better soon!
