Question

It's very hard being pregnant when u already have a toddler or school age child and youre trying not to get sick my husband is 100% against the flu shot so what do I do to keep from getting sick..

Answer

Get the shot. U didn't say ur against it 😊 Ur immune system is already lower than usual, don't risk it.

Answer

Get the flu shot yourself and be diligent with handwashing.

Answer

Umm it's ur body and u need to get the flu shot..u need to stay safe for u and that baby.  Ur immune system is lower

Answer

I am an insane clean freak and wash my hands and my toddlers hands ... And I will tell you, I still get sick. I haven't gotten my flu shot yet because my toddler (who is in daycare) has brought me home every illness imaginable this pregnancy and I'm always too sick to get my shot. But I still want it!! I just spent the last 24 hours with the stomach flu, constant puking and diarrhea for the full 24 hours - I couldn't keep anything down until late last night and almost went to the ER. If I can potentially prevent the actual flu (I can't imagine having a fever on top of the vomiting/diarrhea I just had. ugh!) then shoot me up! Last pregnancy I had the flu shot and my son is just fine. He is 1 now and got his flu shot at the pediatrician for this season, too. I'm all for it - after having pinkeye, sinus infections, bronchitis, stomach flu and a number of colds - anything I can do to potentially immunize myself from my toddler's daycare sounds good in my book!
