Not me. Not because I don't want it, but because the clinics in my area aren't vaccinating pregnant women, the clinics outside my area have 8 hour line ups, and no one wants to vaccinate a pregnant woman in the 1st tri. I'll have to wait until december for my flu shot, and 20 weeks for H1N1.
Me. Seasonal flu several weeks ago - H1N1 last weekend.
I was SUPER impressed with our local hospital that hosted the H1N1 clinic for pregnant women - they were VERY efficient and organized. We were in and out in five minutes!.

Same here. Except everything is on a first call, first serve basis. You have to call every morning and if they have shots available you can make an appointment. The chances of you calling and getting through while they have shots avaiable are slim to none.
Just the H1N1 for me. Yesterday I went in for my appointment and asked if they had the vaccine and to my shock they did. (We've had the vaccine lines forming at 4am around here for the few clinics that've received it) They're only giving it to priority patients that happen to come in and not "advertising" that they have it! I'm not sure if I'll get the seasonal or not.
im scared to get either -- i told my hubs i will start wearing an N-95 mask & tell people I might have a flu so they stay away from me... eek ! i worry about the side effects...

how did your docs reassure you ...??
I understand that some people are apprehensive about the H1N1 shot (I got it, my doctor got it, and so did his wife and kids) but FOR THE LOVE OF YOUR BABY get the seasonal shot. There is no excuse not to.
I got my seasonal flu shot, but I am waiting to talk to my Dr. about the H1N1. I was going to get it and I had a question for the administering nurse right before she gave it to me. She told me she didn't know anything about the vaccine. I didn't feel comfortable getting it from her, so I decided to wait until I see my doc in 3 weeks.
I was supposed to get my regular flu shot 3 weeks ago, but I was sick so they wouldn't give it to me. I am going to get my H1N1 shot today. I found out someone at work has H1N1 and I really don't want to get it. I will try again for seasonal flu shot later.
I got the H1N1 vaccine first a little over a week ago. I was gonna get the seasonal flu shot after that, but I got a really bad allergic reaction to something in the vaccine, so I was going to wait and talk to my doctor before getting another vaccine. I'm glad I got the H1N1 at least, since that's way more critical.

I got the seasonal 3 weeks ago, H1N1 yesterday. The nurse who gave me the H1N1 said side effects are stiffness/soreness in the arm, and low grade fever. In my opinion, much better than the alternative.
I got them both. I got the seasonal before I got pregnant and the H1N1 after. I've got a lot of allergies and had a reaction to the H1N1 (I've not heard of anyone else reacting to it. I don't think I'll be getting the flu shot next year.
