h. Infection and Illness
Avoiding sick people while pregnant makes sense. Stay away from people who have a cold, a cough, a sore throat, or the flu.
If you are ill during your pregnancy or have flu symptoms, consult your doctor. Do not take any medication without first consulting your doctor. If you have a cold or a minor illness, rest, drink a lot of liquid and use a humidifier.
If you have been exposed to a serious illness including Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI), consult your doctor.
