Still have not gotten the flu shot. Anyone else?

Rilly1212 · February 2011

It's not that I don't want to get the flu shot (ok maybe a little bit) but I seriously just have not gotten around to it. Anyone else procrastinating too?

I've never got one and this year won't be any different. I'm loving my prenatals and all the sleep I'm getting- I haven't even gotten a cold this winter (knock on wood).

Never have, never will. No different just because I'm pregnant.

I didn't get one this year (procrastinated), and I ended up catching the flu for a week and a half. I say, get one! It's not fun at all to have the flu, especially while pregnant. I didn't get to take half the meds that I would have liked to take. I definitely won't be procrastinating next year!!

Same here!

I have no plan to get one.

My husband has been on my case about getting one. He swears that I had one with my last pregnancy. I say that I didn't. I think I am going to try and fly under the radar and not get one this year too! Maybe he won't notice!

I always said i wouldn't get one, but i just had the flu while my 2 year old AND husband had it. I will DEFINITELY get it next year. That was pure hell.

Confession: I love reading the "I wish I'd got the shot because I got sick" posts.

I got mine in October.

I just got mine on Monday. They said it was a good thing I went in because we really aren't in the clear yet. I NEVER get them but DH wouldn't let off me about it so I just caved and got it.

I always get it. It can be a big deal if you get the flu when you are pregnant-

I got mine because I'm a RN and to many sick people on the floor. But I got it when I was 3 weeks and didn't know I was pregnant. All well. But if you don't want it don't get it!:) Just be good about handwashing and ect....

World's worst procrastinator here! I am a teacher. I ALWAYS get my flu shot. However, I couldn't when they were available here at school.Now, I only remember when I am lying in bed at night! GRRR! Need to set myself a reminder on my phone!

I do not get the flu shot while pregnant. If I get sick, I will take tamiflu. I am SAHM and very low risk. I do get the shot once the baby is born, if it is flu season.
