See your doctor: Avoid any medications during pregnancy. See your doctor for concerns of a flu like illness during pregnancy. It has been a week.If it is allergies you want to know. First trimester is a crucial time. Obviously takes precautions with exposure to mosquito areas as well. Last tamiflu (oseltamivir) only good during first 48 of illness not a week into it.
