Flu shot?

I have never gotten a flu shot and *knock on wood* have never had the flu, rarely get sick at all. My Dr said they would continue to ask me about getting the shot to protect not only me but my baby as well. 31 weeks now, next appointment is Thursday. Should I get the flu shot or not?

I've had the flu shot one time and in that same year i also had the flu. I've never had another flu shot and have never had the flu again. My dr recommended it at least 100 times, i always declined. I haven't gotten the flu yet. Im 36 weeks.
