Flu Shot!?

[christine917]

Who said no? Lol I just got asked & I was like no.

Ahh! No way homie I'm good on all that, I don't want the shot to make me sick cuss I know I'll be miserable if I get sick from the shot..

Is it bad that I said no?

Usually when I'm not pregnant I would get it but I don't my body to react differently while pregnant.

Keep your baby safe, get the shot. I know there a tons of people that feel the need to decline different immunizations to feel they have control over the pregnancy but do not hesitate to all doctor recommended vaccines. It's not about you anymore! Goodluck with your baby!

Never had the flu shot and hardly ever had the flu. An article just came out showing the content of the shot. It has mercury and formaldehyde

[mommyof42015]

If pregnant women don't get the flu shot there chances go up to get it. Plus if you were to get the flu my dr said it could kill my child, or make me go into pre term labor. It was the best decision I made. I got it 2 months ago and I still haven't gotten sick.

[Momma_Wolf]

I said no cause last time I got the flu shot I could not eat for a week I got really sick

[MamaMiaxmas]

No I've never had it and never will get it. Its not guaranteed to prevent you from getting the flu since its many different strands of it.

I declined the flu shot, i never get it and haven't been sick with the flu since i was little. I did get the tdap shot but ipprobably shouldn't have since i already had the shot but whatever. My doctor made me sign a paper saying i denied getting the flu shot, no one is going to force me to do anything that i don't want to do.

I got my flu shot yesterday and im feeling fine just my arm is sore but im fine.....u dnt have to get it if u dnt want to but it recommended. If it really was bad for ur baby they wouldn't ask u to get it.

[mayrs]

I didn't get the flu shot. I did accept for my kids once & I regret it, they got horribly sick.  I'm not going to try that **** again & every time I did get it I got sick. So I firmly saying no, besides I don't think it's that important if that shut gets u sick on purpose.

[babygirlAliceRose]

I got the flu shot and my whole body is sore, I deffinatly got a lil sick but with a baby that is now 6 days old I feel terrible :/

The flu shot you get during pregnancy I'd and inactive virus you can not get sick from it. Its the whole reason they give this particular one to pregnant women because if a pregnant women were to get sick with the flu it instantly puts you and baby at risk and can cause serious problems. Getting the flu shot and the tdap and at the benefit for you but ALSO your baby so they get the antibodies before birth..

[Nikesha92]

I didn't get the flu shot my doctor said no to it so I'm a stick to it

[Alove21]

I said NO never had and never will

[AlejandraMV]

Sugarbaby0000, I completely agree with you. If people are denying vaccines based off of the idea that it can cause autism (which is what I've heard some moms say) they need to be aware that is not true. The celebrity mom who thought she was bring that thought to light actually came out and revoked her "evidence" on that. It's more important to do your research for each and every vaccine you get for yourself and for baby instead of instantly denying all of them. It can be extemely dangerous, not only to your child but those who has weaker immune systems too!

I Got The Glu Shot About 2 Weeks Ago And I Feel Prefectly Fine , Betta Safe Than Sorry !

[chantel1117]

My baby will have all her vaccines. I on the other hand did not get the flu shot because the one time I got the flu shot I wound up in the hospital from it. I jve a huge family they all got the flu and I was the one taking care of all the sick kids WITHOUT the flu shot and I didn't get it. Therefore I will not get it. My Dr also said she understands since there are so many types of flu's out there now that's it's not 100% that even with the flu shot you won't get it. My husband for the flu shot and got sick. I didn't get sick at all and I don't have the flue shot.

[emtum]

I didn't get the flu shot or tdap with my first and we were both perfectly fine:) I declined with this baby as well.

[slc121]

I said no and i dont plan to get the shot. I never have and i doubt I'll ever get the shot.

[adoremadelyn]

I got the flu shot & didn't get sick from it ..I think it's important during pregnancy , not only for me but for my baby also.

[SugarBaby0000]

Why would you decline the flu shot? It's very important and it outweighs the pros a lot more than the cons. People declining vaccines and declining their babies getting vaccinations is very dangerous. I don't understand why this "trend" is going on now but it must stop or we will all suffer greatly.  

[Miss_Courtney]

I got a TDAP shot. Don't think I'll be getting the flu shot.

[mersedesj]

The flu shot is super important. If you get it the baby gets it. It's really unlikely for a infant to survive the flu. And pregnant women already have a lot on there lungs. Pregnant women have actually died during birth due to the flu being too hard on there lungs. I've never got a flu shot in my life and I'm 39 weeks and just got my first one to protect me and the baby. I haven't got sick at all.

[shacacon]

Ive had a premie and that shot helps you carry the baby longer.

The virus in the flu vaccine is dead (no virus is technically alive, but that's another topic entirely). It cannot replicate and cause you to have the flu. It's biologically impossible. When it contains are parts of the virus that allow your immune system to build up antibodies that way when you are exposed to the flu the antibodies destroy that one particular part of the virus, thus killing it entirely.

[kay1027]

The flu shot is a dead virus. Yes some ppl get a lil sick but its your body getting amune to it. I would rather get a lil sick from the shot then get the flu itself.
