I am a CNA and will be also working through the whole flu season, my work was offering the flu shot but I didn't get it b/c of being pregnant. I would rather be blowing my brains out and that before getting something that might hurt the baby.

They are perfectly safe in the first trimester now. Before you had to wait until the third to get it. Both my OB & my allergist insisted I get one asap. So I did.

I don't plan to get one. As of now I am a SAHM.

I decided not to get one. My dr. didn't suggest it, and I didn't ask him. I'm a teacher, too. I do think it's totally safe to get one, though.

I got my flu shot last month and had no side effects at all. It's safe for the baby and most dr. s recommend it.

Hmmm... My dr advised I get one, but now that I think about it, I rarely go out, don't work, etc, so maybe it isn't necessary afterall. I don't know, I'll probably end up getting one soon. I just love that pain in the arm! *L*

my doctor advised me against it. He said unless I had asthma it was suggested that I not get it. I think it is better to not get it than find out later that the vaccination could cause un-needed issues. However, it is best to follow your doctors advice.

I was also wondering about this. My Dr's office is out of the shots and they suggested if I wanted it to go to a quickcare place. I never get one otherwise, should I now? I'm not sure...

thats a good question i got like a card in the mail from my insurance or i dunno someone medical sayin i needed to get it b/c i was high risk for getting the flu since im pregnant and i called my doc who said it was ok but it didnt feel right cuz u always here about how ppl react to it so i didnt get it but i kinda worry that i should of

I got my flu shot at 7 weeks, I believe. Just an fyi, you can only have the shot, you cannot take the inhaled nasal spray because it is a live virus. It is perfectly safe!
