Depends: Oseltamiver (Tamiflu) can be considered if the woman has test confirmed Flu A or B if detected in the first 24-48 hrs of symptoms. Flu can be deadly in pregnant women(lost 2 in my town during 2009 epidemic). The drug has minimal data reflecting use in pregnancy so it should only be used when the situation is clearly a benefit to mom/baby.
