I got the swine flu shot when I was pregnant last year because my doc told me there was danger to my baby. I was about 3 months pregnant at the time. No negative effects. My baby is super healthy.
I got both last year. On a funny note, when I first typed this my phone auto-corrected "both" to "boobs". I got those last year too!
HA!
Thank you for responding. My Dr wants me to get it, but I didn't with my first pregnancy and I never have in my life...it's a tough call, still not sure what I should do.
I did last year when I was pg....mainly b/c DS was going to be born in January, when flu season was in full swing, and would be too young for the vaccine. If you get vax while you're pg, they are born protected.
I hate the whole idea of vaccinations and worry that it may be weakening our immune systems long-term (or doing something else funky), but knowingthat the flu could be deadly won out over thinking that the vaccine could have unknown effects down the line. I have a lot of respect for those who go without, I just didn't have the guts.

We just up our Vitamin D intake. This video is helpful in explaining why:
