flu shot and whooping cough shot?

[nannewmom]

Ladies are you getting flu shot? I am unsure what the other one is for whooping cough, my ob said they are nessasary. I just wanted to hear some opinions, on how you feel about them. I have never had a flu shot, and I haven't
decided if am going to get them. I have till my next appt to decided which is in 2wks. Thanks ladies♡

I think I have decided on no flu shot and yes to the whooping cough shot. I am going to see my high risk dr. Before i go back to my ob and I will ask her opinion also. I just have never had a flu shot, I dont know how am going to react to it.  My friend got it and had never had it before and she got a bad reaction her arm got swollen and she couldn't even lift it above her head. I am unsure about the flu shot.  But, thank you so much ladies, you've help me alot♡

I'm not getting either. It isn't  necessary. I have two children and it wasn't even mentioned then. My sister just had a little girl and is  in the military and neither were encouraged. I have done my own research and there is no study that shows that either vaccine even  crosses the placenta . Every mom is entitled to make decisions that work for them. Do what works for you.

I will not allow anyone around my baby that hasn't has the whooping cough vaccine.

Never gotten the flu shot and never will..thinking I will do TDAP at my next appt..

I have never gotten the flu shot so I plan not to. I will get the tdap shot after I give birth. She can get my protected antibodies from my breast milk instead fron the actual shot.

I just did my flu shot and I'm going to be honest the day I got it I kinda felt a little weak and maybe ran a low fever. It only lasted a day and I was fine the next morning. I am a hair dresser so I'm around people all winter and hate to say it moms bring there kids in w the flu or strep every year! Stupid right!?! So I'm all about feeling like crap for one day then having the flu for a week! The wooping cough is next apt! Vaccines only protect you and your babies from bad illnesses my baby girl will have all her shots with out a doudt!!
