It's an absolute No from what I was told!

I would not take it while pregnant. AND I would hire a new provider, since this one is not practicing evidence-based medicine and does not care about safety! This is a HUGE red flag and I'm glad you found out, now what kind of provider you have for an OB!

No no no! 

If you need a flu treatment, find some Elderberry Syrup!

 I took it and was fine. The tamiflu helped so much when I came down with the flu.

 I wouldn't, but if one is very very ill with the flu (i.e. in the hospital), then I would take it.  But, if you think you can get over it without taking it, I would not take it.

I would. My doctor actually just asked me if I would like a prescription for it today because of a really bad cold i have. I said no, colds almost gone now anyhow and I dont have the other symptoms of the flu.

I took it and things are fine with me. I was told by urgent care, my pcp, my midwife and the pharmacist the benefits outweigh the risks tremendously.
