[quote=Anonymous]Don't take this as medical advice but my experience: we just went through an identical scenario a month ago. I'm also pregnant and dd is 3. We both had a low grade fever 100-barely 101 on an off for 3 days and tired and very very stuffy but no major aches or exhaustion. I went to my primary care dr (without dd and after 1.5 days of fever) and tested negative for the flu. Dr (who is also my kids dr- family practice) said that with the lower grade fever and no all out exhaustion it was pretty clear it wasn't the flu before the test. He also mentioned that if it was positive the only reason he'd even prescribe tamiflu to my dd is because she had an underlying heart condition (resolved in past) otherwise it would not be worth the side effects. We perry much stayed curled up on my bed with cartoons, books, tea, soup and toast for 3 days. Fever and most of the stuffiness went away after 4 days but I still felt tired by 2 pm for another couple days and came home from work early then. 
This was the worst non flu sickness I've had in 10 years. [/quote]
