has anyone had a flu shot in the first trimester?

Has anyone had a flu shot in the first trimester? I got one yesterday when getting my daughter vaccinated. The nurse assured me it was fine and actually encouraged me. I felt a little worried afterwards like I had made a hasty decision w/out consulting my doctor first (not that I don't think nurses are great and competent). Thank you for any input!

Don't worry I did my research as well and is actully a good idea to get one when your pregnant. Have appy nine months!

I just had one and I'm in the middle of week six.  The OBGYN was worried about me getting the flu while pregnant, so she suggested I get the shot.  The nurse who actually gave me the shot said that I was "smart" to be getting it.
