It's a personal decision but I am not getting a flu shot while pregnant, they didn't recommend it before and it's kinda scary to me that they do it now. Flu vaccine has mercury and I don't believe that could be good for the baby... As I said it's a personal decision and should inform yourself before getting it.... Good luck!
I just figured its good to get it for your baby cause i got one with my first boy but i didnt get the flu when i was pregnant or when i found out i was but the doctor just suggested it would be good to get. So ima just ask them if my insurance can cover it if it does ima get it for my babyboy . thanks everybody
I've never had the flu or the flu shot so I'm afraid to get it now that I'm pregnant because I don't know how my body will respond.
I had mine the same day I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks.. Definitely have it!!! Though now at 27 weeks I have the worst head cold but at least it's not the flu!!!
You dont have to its recommended but I mean they can't make you lol. I personally have never had a flu shot in my life nor has my husband or our 3 year old Son and I wont be getting one this pregnancy either.
I'm going to get mine next week. I work in a pharmacy and can get it anytime but my doctor said get to it whenever I can since I have access to it. I also get one every year.
It's recommend for every pregnant woman to have a flu shot during her pregnancy, this can help protect the baby once he/she is born. I had mine at 26 weeks, I will be 34 weeks tomorrow. It's a personal decision honestly but I am a big fan of vaccines!!! :-)
