Hi,

Welcome to health care magic.

I understand your concern about viral flu affecting your pregnancy. There is no need to worry as flu viruses usually cause upper respiratory and mild GI infections.
As you are in your last trimester, less likely chances of any serious side effects due to antibiotics also.
Wishing you a safe delivery.
Thanks.
