What Are The Chances Of Pneumonia With Flu?

Hi,
I am currently 29 weeks pregnant. I tested positive for flu A (which in our area they are not testing further for H1N1, just assuming thats which strain you have).
I have been having difficulty breathing and a horrible cough (in addition to the normal flu symptoms). I also have yellow/white sputum.
What are the chances that it is pneumonia?

    Well it could be a secondary infection..just not necessarily pneumonia..but seeing that you are pregnant I would go to the doctor..if it is a secondary infection then you will need an antibiotic..But just go to the doctor to be safe for you and your baby..keep hydrated and watch your temperature..be extra careful since you are pregnant..If you are indeed short of breath then you need to go to an ER..hope you get better soon.

    My mom ended up with pneumonia because of the flu. Since you are pregnant, you need to go to the ER ASAP!
