Beany is not just safe, but in the safest place possible right now. Was like when we did the swab for pertussis with me, my Drs only real advice was to take it easy and try not to go into labour and she will be safe.

Natural products are great for fighting off flus when pg because you have no fear of any repercussions on baby. Ginger is great for nausea (I used ginger bikkies for my HG). Garlic fights off just about anything and helps your immune system. Honey is the ultimate soother.

I also recommend people avoid pre-packed and processed foods while fighting colds and flus. Your body simply functions better when it is dealing exclusively with food. For example, Nitrtes in processed bacon and ham are used to kill off bacteria that could devlop in the meat. It doesn't distinguish between the bad bacterias in the meat and the good ones in your body just going about their business.

Other than that, get as much rest as possible. Making a baby and fighting a virus can take a lot out of you making it less efficient at fighting the virus. Don't worry, your body has its priorities right. Baby gets put before everything else, so you look after yourself and it will look after your baby.
