It can also cause spontaneous abortion (miscarriage). However in MOST CASES even if youre pregnant, it will only be a small flu symptoms and nothing will come of it.

The CDC is not keeping record of individual cases, only those requiring hospitalization. Meaning that about 60% of all cases either didnt require any doctor's care, or else the people went to their doctor or clinic and were confirmed to have H1N1 but their cases are not counted by the CDC as of July of this year. They were keeping all that information between April and July of this year, and during that time well over one million people had contracted the virus, but only 302 people had died- meaning the death rate is less than half that of the seasonal flu even on a slow year. To date 28 of the 1000 deaths have been pregnant women- but that still is not greater than the seasonal flu. Statistically you're actually still more likely to die of childbirth alone than the swine flu. No worries :) If you contract the flu contact your OB and PCP so they can closely monitor you- there are plenty of antivirals that are safe for use by pregnant women. And by closely monitoring you for secondary infection you will be just fine. And so will baby. Much less than if you had the regular flu. despite what people try to tell you.

If you contract the flu friend your OB and PCP so they can closely monitor you- here are plenty of antivirals that are safe for use by pregnant women. And by closely monitoring you for secondary infection you will be just fine. And so will baby.

I have had it at about 13 wks, and was absolutely fine. My baby had no problems whatsoever. I would worry if you have a compromised immune system.

If you are starting to get sick go see your doctor now! The earlier you catch a cold or whatever the batter it is on you and the baby. My husband and I looked up the percentage last night. Only 28 women out of the servel thouands of women that are pregnant have died from H1N1, and that was because they weren't treated early in their sickness. less than .2%.
