I'm 8 months pregnant and hubby has swine flu...what do I do?

Call your OB in the morning. More than likely they will prescribe Tamiflu for you, but be sure that that is what they advise before you begin taking it. My cousin is pregnant and her daughter was just diagnosed with H1N1 last week, and they put her on Tamiflu as she is high risk since she is pregnant. Also ask your OB what they advise you to do if you start to develop a fever or other symptoms. You should also consider asking about the symptoms that you are currently having, just in case. You can never be too careful when it comes to sickness and pregnancy! You may also want to consider getting vaccinated against H1N1, your OB office may have it available. Hope this helps, good luck!
