Nope, dont plan on getting the flu shot.  Im 18 weeks and so far haven't gotten sick. I work with kids (elementary school) so im prone to be around germs all the time. However I have been blessed to not even catch a cold. I make sure to drink plenty of fluids,  rest, take my vitamins and wash/sanitize my hands whenever I get the chance. Dont think its necessary.

I never got it, and haven't gotten sick at all. I'm currently 22 weeks and 4 days. My doctor told me to not get it when I've never got it before now.

I didn't. No flu yet. I've been around the flu, and I've been around toddlers, but I've never gotten the flu before and didn't want to get the shot if I felt it was unnecessary.
