Species is right, pretty sure it comes down to: save momma sacrifice baby...... I'm not willing to take that risk- or the alternative of dying and leaving my husband alone with an infant...

Definately. I do not want to get the flu while pregnant. Not only did I read it was dangerous but there are hardly any meds you can take if you do get it.

Flu shot should be gotten by all pregant women. We are at higher risk to have complications from the flu. I'm due in February I'm getting mine October 20th. The 1st day of immunization.

I've never gotten the flu shot and I have never had the flu and I work in a casino all of my adult life. I'm going to pass on the flu shot.

I got it last year before I miscarried and I felt fine- I'm sure when I go on the 9th they'll send my not so happy about needles butt to immunization to get another lol

I get it yearly. I'm sure in May and I will be getting flu shot this year. I work in healthcare so I'm high risk as it is. Pregnancy also makes you high risk.
