What is everyones opinion on the flu shot? I am nervous...i never got the flu shot before and have only gotten the flu once in 30 years....I am just torn on what to do....
I've heard that it is highly recommended that pregnant women get the flu shot. I just found out that they offer pregnant women a "preservative free" flu shot. I called my ob today and they have it. You should call your doctor if you have questions. I had the flu last year and it's no fun...
My doctor insisted that I have the flu shot as well as the swine flu shot. Talk to your doctor & see what the recommendation is... most likely they will want you to get the shot. After all, your body is not as well able to ward off germs as it was pre-pregnancy.
I got the shots while I was pregnant. Unless your doc has reasons not to (usually they recommend you get it while pregnant) I would say do it. I was told though, that you have to do the shot and not that up the nose stuff.
