I know there are lots of posts regarding this, but was wanting some opinions I guess.

Can I have some reassurance that this is what I'm supposed to do?  Vaccines during pregnancy seem scary!

Ectopic July 2012 with fallopian tube and ovary removal :(

First IVF (after 1 cancelled cycle) Jan 2014, 
ER 1/16
ET 1/21
Beta 1/31 BFP!
Beta 2: 400
Beta 3: 700
Beta 4: 11,000  
Beta 5: 45,000
1st US 2/18:  TWINS!!!  :)
EDD: 10/10/14
Delivered via c section 9/17/14, B/G twins

    I got one. I think I was told to wait until after my first trimester. I had no problems other than a sore arm for a day!

    I had one during both pregnancies.  The latest research shows that having the vaccine when you are pregnant passes some of the immunities for pertussis on to your baby which is why it is now recommended for every pregnant woman to get one.
    This. Had is with my DS and again with the twins.

    Don;t be nervous.  It is absolutely the best thing for your babies. Pertussis is a real, scary and potentially devastating illness that could land even healthy babies in the ICU for weeks.  This risk is especially high for twins because they are often born prematurely.

     I also had the flu vaccine while I was pregnant.  

    Also, anyone who will be spending a significant amount of time with the babes (especially your husband and grandparents) should also get the vaccines.

    D & L are here at 34 weeks 4 days by vaginal and breech delivery on 11/19/2013
    Two healthy boys weighing 4 lbs 15 ozs and 4 lbs 5 ozs.  Only 6 days in the NICU and getting bigger, stronger and cuter every day!

    This is a great thread! I am 30 weeks tomorrow and will be asking my doctor about it this week. Since our babies will be born during "flu season", I was hoping to encourage grandparents to get their flu shots as well. Hoping that my doctor will have some talking points for me to share. My parents are 65+ and with a niece and nephew in daycare someone is always sick!
