flu shot

I know its supposed to help the baby come flu season but im so regretting it right now! Ive been extremely sick for the last 3 days-  throwing up, diarrhea, whole body aches, and extreme tiredness...on top of already not feeling good. Im so over it. Im trying to remember the positive but right now im having a hard time.

Weird cause everything ive read says it may cause vomiting/diarrhea along with all that other stuff. Yeah I got it at my ob's office. But I will call my doc tomorrow if it doesnt get any better!

Did you get the shot at your dr office I got mine at my drs office they gave me a flu shot that didn't have the flu in the vaccine did they tell you what was in the vaccine? They also gave me the shot to protect me and the baby from whopping cough

Flu shot wouldn't cause vomiting/ diarrhea so its most likely you were exposed to something beforehand and because your busy building antibodies to the flu you weren't as successful at fighting it off. Hope you feel better soon!

A flu shot would not cause those symptoms.  It may cause a low grade fever and minor body aches, but definitely not vomiting or diarrhea. There are stomach bugs going around.  If you are not feeling better soon you should probably call your dr.
