flu?
Since fall is here already is it safe to get flu shot? I'm in my second trimester. I'm already in pain with the baby growing in me and I don't think I can handle back pains swollen ankles stretching of the abdomen and everything like that on top flu!! I don't think so.
Doctors recommend it because they get paid to endorse it; vaccinations have NEVER been scientifically proven safe or effective during pregnancy.
The flu shot specifically states on the manufacturer's package insert that it is NOT recommended for pregnant women; it increases your chances of miscarriage/pre-term labor.
My doctor really wanted me to get it but I have never gotten it since I'm allergic to eggs. And there are eggs in it and I'm afraid ill have an illegible reaction to it.
Oh yes! Your doc will highly recommend you get it because your immune system is so low
