We are trying to conceive and all the recent hype about the swine flu with repeated media reports of pregnant women having severe complications, hospitalization and heightened risk of death are not very helpful. Since we are not considering the vaccine, I would really love to hear from women who have had confirmed or suspected cases of swine flu and what their experience with this flu was. Ideally there would be statistics to show what percent of confirmed swine flu cases have been in pregnant women and which percentage of these required hospitalization or resulted in death.
Since it is unlikely that such statistics will become available, I would love to hear from any pregnant women out there who have had confirmed cases of swine flu but made it through and what they had to go through - also, at what stage in your pregnancy were you when you contracted the flu?
Thank you so much in advance.
