Flu shot when pregnant?

Question

Is it safe to get the flu shot when pregnant? I am 6w2d currently and not sure if I should get it in the next few days, wait, or not get it at all.

Answer

You’re going to get lots of different options here but according to the Centers for Disease Control, yes it is safe and recommended.

Answer

If it wasn’t safe the medical professional who administers it wouldn’t give it to you. They know better than women on an app.

Answer

Yes. Get it. I also told all my siblings that if they don’t, they don’t get to hold my baby.

Answer

When is it safe to get it? I have a weak immunity wearing a mask anywhere and I’m afraid too

Answer

Noooio

Answer

My mother never got one while pregnant and she was fine and so were we 🤷
I don't think I'll be getting one honestly
But i will still talk to my obgyn about it

Answer

We get it offered in the UK via our GP. I had one at 19 weeks.

Answer

My OBs office gave it to me without giving me a choice at my first appointment. They said it was mandatory

Answer

Yes it keeps baby protected too so long as its the actual shot.

Answer

Yes! I got mine around 6 weeks
