INFLUENZA INFORMATION:  Please click on the Patient Education tab, then click on H1N1 Questions and Answers/H1N1 Wake County Health Department.

 The flu is here and you should be ready.  Here is some information and recommendations that the physicians at Women's Health Alliance pka Capital Area OB/GYN think every pregnant woman should know and follow:

 

PREVENTION

 

  1. All pregnant women and Dads to be, should be vaccinated against Seasonal Influenza and H1N1 (Swine Flu).  If doses are limited, then pregnant women should be vaccinated preferentially.  We will offer the H1N1 vaccine at our offices for our pregnant patients that will be coming mid to late October.  Seasonal Flu vaccines are offered at a variety of locations.  Both vaccines are safe for pregnant women in any trimester.
  2. All people should observe good hygiene such as frequent hand washing and cover all cough and/or sneezes.
  3. If you have been exposed to someone with the flu, call our office or PCP to discuss whether you may need medication for prophylaxis.

TREATMENT

 

  1.  If you have a  Fever >100.0 and either a cough or sore throat (you may have other symptoms such as:  muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), you may have influenza.
  2. DO  NOT COME INTO THE OFFICE OR LABOR AND DELIVERY.  We do not want to expose other pregnant patients to the flu.  Instead CALL OUR OFFICE OR THE DOCTOR ON CALL FOR INSTRUCTIONS.
  3. You may receive treatment over the phone with Tami flu or another medication; this is safe during pregnancy.  Getting the Flu during pregnancy is very dangerous to mother and baby.  If your symptoms worsen after starting the medication such as having respiratory difficulty, you should go to the Emergency Room or contact our office immediately.
