Going to get my flu shot today as recommended by my doctor.  Anyone get one at 6 weeks pregnant?

    I got mine before I knew that I was pregnant. I was about 4 weeks.

    Yeah I'm getting one. Only provision is getting preservative free kind. Too bad they were out of them yesterday while I was there. It's covered 100% by my insurance but I have a 35 dollar copay for the office visit. Lame.

    I got mine the day I got my BFP.

    It is recommended whether or not you're pregnant.

    I got a flu shot over a month ago, and was diagnosed with the flu (and strep) this past Saturday. 

    I've heard of such things but never actually known anyone that this has happened to.  So far, DD and DH are ok.  I guess IVF + pg insomnia = weakend immune system, or I'm lucky. lol

    The urgent care doc urged me to take the Tamiflu, but the RE said not to take it, so I stopped after 2 days.

    No point to my story other than to say that even with a flu shot,  make sure you take care of yourself.  I really hope my case is not indicative of how bad this flu season will be.

     

    Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. Lilypie Fourth Birthday tickers Pregnancy Ticker

    Unfortunately it only protects against the very most common strains of the flu. Glad your family was ok. You must have been miserable.

    I got mine right after AF this cycle. And I'm glad I did! I think it's recommended for all pregnant women to get one. Good for you :)

    I got one today and I'm 6 weeks.  My doctor assured me that it was fine, in fact she recommended it.

    I am actually allergic to eggs so I have never had one. Although aren't there non-egg based ones out there if you are in a high risk group (like being KU!)?
