So I was on tamiflu within 24 hours but I worked the entire time due to deadlines so it took me about a month to get back to full pregnant strength. I definitely did not rest and take care of myself as I should have, between work and a toddler at home. I was about 23 weeks I think when I tested positive.

Rest up and feel better!

I wasn’t pregnant, but I was 3 months postpartum. I’d say it took a week. It was the last bad flu season we had, 2014/15. I had the flu shot so I’m pretty sure that helped lessen symptoms and duration.
I did get on tamiflu but it was just a precaution as it was probably too late for it to do much (I was on day 2-3 of symptoms).
I would have loved to just take it easy but 1) newborn and 2) of course after I was diagnosed DH felt sick so I had to resume activities because according to him I was “less contagious” so it was better for me to care for newborn again. And he proceeded to spend 100% of the next 4 days in bed. Oh, and he tested negative for he flu but he still insists he had it haha.
Point is I could have maybe felt better if I wasn’t doing night wakings and 24 hour care of a baby. Ahem, 2 babies.

I wasn't pregnant (you poor thing-I can't imagine!), but...I had H1N1 (swine flu) and pneumonia at the same time almost exactly 2 years ago. My son was 16 months at the time. I also had a double ear infection. The cough was unreal, too. I got on Tamiflu within 40 hours of the onset of symptoms, as well as an antibiotic for the ears. It was a Friday when I started taking the meds and I pretty much spent the weekend in the guest room away from husband and son, with a mask on. We had some baby-sitter help (no local family). I had awful fevers, night sweats, chills, etc. for the first 3-4 nights and would soak through my sheets with sweat. I had mono, and this ways *way* worse of a sickness. I would say within 5 days I was up and walking around, and by 8-9 days out I felt pretty much back to normal but still took it easy. My husband and son were both put on Tamiflu just in case, and I have zero regrets about that. No medicine side-effects from either of them and they stayed healthy. I had to somewhat resume care of my son by Monday afternoon, but by then I'd been on medication for 3.5 days and was on the mend.
