The flu, is a virus that affects the respiratory tract. Pregnant women are considered to be in the high-risk group of those most vulnerable to getting the flu and are strongly urged to get a flu shot.

Pregnant women have been found to have an increased risk of death or severe complications if they get the flu during pregnancy.

Even if you don’t develop complications from your flu, your symptoms are much more likely to last longer if you’re pregnant. The average flu won’t harm an unborn child. However, if your condition were to become serious, then there could be a chance of a miscarriage or preterm labor. To lower your risk of catching the flu wash your hands regularly and avoid sharing cups and utensils.
