Flu shot during pregnancy?

Question

Did you get one? Is it safe? State your opinions & reasoning.

Answer

My Hypnobirthing midwife advises against it

Answer

I got it my first pregnancy because I was delivering in December and there are residual effects that help the baby after birth. This time around I was still in my first trimester up until December and since they kept saying the strain was different I didn't bother with it.

Answer

Never had the flu shot, never had the flu 👍 And won't be getting it during pregnancy either.

Answer

I never get it anyway. Never had the flu either.

Answer

My job forced me to get it... But I'm happy I didn't get sick this winter while being pregnant... I probably would've gotten it anyways

Answer

I was sick with a severe head cold for 2 weeks before my first appointment and I was told I literally couldn’t do anything about it medicine wise, I cannot imagine having the flu and not being able to do anything about it. I got the flu shot, and honestly, the next couple days after that I started getting better, my cold is almost gone now. If I can only take Tylenol then I will do whatever I can to keep me and my baby healthy, because Tylenol doesn’t do anything for me.

Answer

I'm not against it but I didn't get one this time around. When it was time to get it I was sick and the dr couldn't give it to me. I just never bothered after that. I had the flu shot with my daughter though

Answer

Got it an so glad I did. I was pregnant all winter an everyone I knew was getting sick. I couldn't imagine being sick and pregnant and risk something happening.

Answer

I'm not against the flu shot but I chose not to get it. It didn't seem as effective this year. Im a first grade teacher so im around a lot of germs. I caught one little cold this year. I wash my hands 30 times a day.

Answer

I got it! And I ended up with the flu still!
