Testing It Up

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, the idea of getting sick with the swine flu virus can indeed be worrisome for you. However, you and your baby will not get sick with the virus if you exercise some caution.

To prevent your getting the disease, you should avoid touching public surfaces and then touching your nose, mouth and eyes afterwards. You should also wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water, or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. You should also avoid crowded places as much as possible.

When you do get sick, you should see your doctor immediately to get a prescription for safe antiviral medicine. In addition, you should stay at home, have a lot of rest and drink a lot of liquids. You should not stop breastfeeding because your baby will need the antibodies you will be able to provide. Just wash your hands before you handle your baby and wear a facemask.
