What should I do if I am pregnant and come in close contact with someone who has the flu?
A pregnant woman should call her doctor right away to talk about what she should do. Sometimes, doctors will give a pregnant woman an antiviral medicine to decrease the chance that she might become sick with flu. Other times, this might not be needed. The doctor may instead recommend that a pregnant woman take antiviral medicines if they get sick.
