I have been exposed to the flu and i'm supposed to be in the delivery room with my sister, is it safe?

I wouldn't: The upside is a wonderful family experience, the downside is possibly passing the flu on to your sister and her baby.Flu can become contagious before you realize you are infected.If she waits a week to deliver and you have no symptoms, consider yourself ok.
