Did you get the flu shot while pregnant?

Question

I got the flu shot but now I'm reading about all the negatives of getting it while pregnant. I want to know who all got it? I at first denied it but they told me if I get sick my baby could die so I got it

Answer

I'm a nurse so I literally will get fired for not getting the flu shot. But regardless each mom has to decide for herself. It is 7x more likely that a pregnant woman who gets the flu will become severe or fatal. So to me the benefits outweigh any negatives. I did get body aches for 3 days after I received it. Never had any reaction before but it wasn't horrible. And just had U/S baby boy is well :)

Answer

I got the flu jab couple of weeks ago and I'm fine and it's so safe for baby, I think it's mainly for baby anyway because it protects them for couple of months after he or she is born x

Answer

Never had it and I won't be getting it while I'm pregnant.

Answer

Done :-) its to protect the baby :)

Answer

I got the flu shot two weeks ago . And this week I have been battling a crazy flu! ... Everyone in my family is blaming the flu shot for giving me this flu..... But I don't think so . My nephew who is only 2 did accidentally sneeze directly in my face a week ago .. So I just blame him 😇

Answer

I have lupus, so my immune system is pretty much a joke lol I got the shot yesterday. No side effects. And since I've gotten colds before that turned into near death experiences, I thought it would be safer for me to have it.

Answer

Never had it and definitely will not be doing just now because I'm pregnant. Didn't do it with either of my first two pregnancies and we are all fine.

Answer

They talked me into it. I normally don't get one but they made me lol it's been fine no side effects

Answer

Now I only had back pain once during this pregnancy but that night after the flu shot my lower back hurt to the point were I couldn't sleep and was awake most of the night. It hurt so bad to the point I was about to cry. Plus my arm was sore so I couldn't sleep on my left side and I also had my first heartburn so I couldn't sleep on my right side. 😔 
But then a day later I felt much better. No back ache nor arm ache.
