I had Swine Flu around 32-33 weeks. I'm now 37w 4d. Healthy and still pregnant!It is basically the same as seasonal flu only that you may have a bit hight temp. But mine did not once exceed 38 degrees, and also may take longer to get over. Mine hit pretty bad for around a week and then slowly eased of for a week. The main concern is that it increases your chances of other illnesses, as does seasonal flu. And is a littler harder to recover from while pregnant. The only thing really worrying that I experienced was fewer movements of the baby, and slightly higher fetal heartrate. But as my pregnancy has progressed to near end these things can happen normally anyway. I would definately reccommend to see a doctor, and they would discuss the pros and cons of meds. And if you had a noticably worrying decrease in baby's movements I would recommend to get that check-out straight away
Good Luck!
