Flu shot during pregnancy?

Question

Is that Ok?

Answer

Yes. I just got mine. My OB recommended it.

Answer

Yes. If it wasn't safe, dr's wouldn't offer it!

Answer

Yes please get your flu shot! You are more likely to get the flu being pregnant. It also helps give some immunity to baby since they can't get a flu shot until 6 months.

Answer

Yes. I just got mine today.

No its not a live virus 
No it will not give you the flu
Yes you may experience some flu-like symptoms but only for a day or two 
Yes you can still get the flu if the strain going around isn't what's covered in the flu shot
Yes you can still get colds

Pregnant women have a lower immune system so the flu can actually land us in the hospital or even be deadly. So yes. The flu shot is fine to have during pregnancy and is recommended during pregnancy along with your TDAP shot

Answer

I absolutely refuse. Only time I've ever gotten the flu is when I got the shot. I won't let it near my children either. They are the few in school who doesn't get sick with it. If you read the insert to the vaccine they do not know the effects on pregnant women, and some women claim it causes early labor. Then again millions if women get it each year. I will not ans I'm 16 weeks

Answer

If you want to be a guinea pig to big pharma, then yes, if not, no. Why don't you look up the safety of them and if they have been tested on pregnant women and for how long. That'll be your best bet.
