Flu shot?

[jesska12]

How many of you ladies got the flu shot? I am due the end of April and am having trouble deciding. I have previously gotten sick from the flu shot.

I got one, because it also helps protect the baby once he or she is born. They aren't able to get a flu shot until 6 months, so it is safer for the baby.

unless you have an egg allergy, you dont get sick from a flu shot. you either had the flu or something else before you got the shot. it takes two weeks for the flu shot to work, so you can still end up getting the flu. i personally dont believe in shots, but ive still done researce all the same. try going to the CDC website. im not sure if its .org or .gov. should clear up your questions.

I didn't get it. Didn't really see the point as I never get sick. But I am getting the pertussis vax

Hi im due jan 13th and got my flu shot last week with no side effects! The good thing about getting it is not only are u now immune to the flu but as long as u breast feed ur baby will be immune to it too that was the main reason i chose to get it. Hope this helps :)

I'm due April 20th & got the flu shot now wishing I hadn't! I've got a sore throat & congested ugh never ending snot.. lol I took generic robitussin still don't feel good. I don't get sick often I took the shot 4-5 weeks ago I blame the shot for this my mouth is sore from breathing through my mouth ears hurt & aches no fun...

It is recommended that pregnant women get a flu shot.  I chose not to tho.

I never got flu shots but I just did last month to protect my baby and me feom getting it. Even if after the babys born and you get it you can give it to them so that's why I got it.

I got one! Im due April 4th. It really has helped a lot. (:

I used to not get flu shots but I got one when I was prego because it's really dangerous for you and baby because your immune system is not good I got one a few months ago too since my baby is only 5 months old, kids can die in 3 days from the flu so I'm trying to prevent it as much as possible
