I had the flu jab 2 weeks ago. I don't know if it's coincidence but i now have a terrible cough and cold which is making my ligament pains a whole lot worse from the sudden movements of coughing and sneezing

With all my pregnancy I have taken the flu shot never had a problem, I would hate to get the flu while pregnant.

I get the flu shot every year for the last 6 years. Never had any problems. I was nervous getting it being pregnant as well but it's been a week since I got it and nothing. I didn't get sick. My doctor insisted that I should get it cause when you're pregnant, it is easier to get sick. Im a nurse and being around sick people really increases my chance to be sick as well. My advice is get it unless u have medical problems that contraindicates it.

Im skepical as well.. Before I was pregnant, I had not had a flu shot since 2006 because the last time I took one, I was so sick. Afterwards, I had not been sick with the flu not getting the shot.. Now that I'm pregnant, I really don't want to but Im sure my doctor will tell me it is best.. I just hope I don't get sick.

I was skeptical but I took it. My Dr. Explained how dangerous it was not to take it and the effects the flu could have on me and My unborn baby so I took it. Everything was fine.
