Did you get the flu shot while pregnant?

Question

I never get the flu shot. I got it like twice and I always got sick after so I hated it. My obgyn told me I should get one but I hate getting them

Answer

Absolutely, vaccinate. 
They will ask you if you’re pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant within the next month or so.

Answer

The flu shot they give is dead so it shouldn't make you sick. & it gives your baby immunity for a couple months after birth. Trust me, you don't want your baby getting the flu. Around me flu has been pretty bad. Everyone's getting it.

Answer

I’m not anti vaccine but I don’t get vaccines while pregnant. If they don’t allow studies on pregnant women then how can they recommend abs assure you they are safe.

Answer

Yes but wait until you're further along. There are studies that link miscarriage to flu shots in early pregnancy.

Answer

I was terrified I'd get sick from it because I had never gotten it before and I work with kids so if it lowered my immune system for even a day I felt like I was doomed! But I got it and everything was fine, all that worrying for nothing 😉 it was later though when I got it, I think 15 weeks, not in the first trimester.

Answer

Yes, get it. I am recovering from the flu at 12 1/2 weeks, and it was AWFUL. Plus, it can be very dangerous for the baby if you have a fever for a long period of time. I was too early to have had the shot, but if you can avoid the flu while being pregnant, please do it.
