flu shot

[dayia_moneymommy]

How many of you ladies got the flu shot? My dr. Has been on my case about getting the flu shoot but I dont want to want take the shot bc it makes me sick

When pregnant women get the flu they get much sicker than other young healthy people. We are at much higher risk of developing pneumonia and lung failure from the flu. I got mine a few weeks ago. Had no bad side effects except my arm was sore. it's your choice, but it's safe for baby and it just makes sense

I get the flu every time i get the shot. Not as bad as when i don't get the shot. I'm still debating on it.

I got both flu and tdap shots in the last two weeks. I have a 6 yr old who gets sick so i want to protect the baby. It is up to you.

My doctor really tells me to get it how important it is shen having a baby and i understand for some people its safe but i disagree the year that i got it,  it made me very sick ever sence never got it again and im not planning to ever get  it , i been doing great without it thank god .

If your going to get the flu you will get it no matter what

[jess56m]

My doctor wanted me to but I sont feel comfortable they dont recommend giving a baby under 6 months so I feel this is a baby under 6 months. Its a personal choice

I'm on baby #4 and I've never had the flu shot pregnant and ive never gotten the flu pregnant. I've heard it can make you sick and lord knows I've been sick enough.

I didn't with my first because I have never gotten the flu shot so I did not want to have a bad reaction while pregnant.  I wont with this one either. But I did not with my son amd I got him the flu shot when he started preschool. I dont think there is anything wrong woth it while pregnant tho. Your baby will just be protected when its born and you wont deal with having the flu. Its up to you. I have rarely gotten the flu. Maybe once in my adult life. Even when my hubby gets the flu I dont.

I got mine mainly because my daughter is five months old and I wanted to protect her. Needless to say I found out later that day I was pregnant.  So I am good to go now haha

I had mine last week and so far not sick but my arm aches a little bit. Your choice end of the day, I had mine because when I get the flu I get really sick and it lasts a while
