Update to the TDAP/pharmacy issue: CVS requires a prescription. OB does not write Rx for immunizations and suggested I call my primary and get it there.

WHY ARE YOU MAKING THIS DIFFICULT?!

(Not sure if I'm yelling at my OB or myself)

Dude. Just get the anal vaccine, it doesn't require a Rx )

Can I take it home and get H to do it for me? That may lead to accidental sex!!!

The flu doesn't exist it's just a way for the Pharm companies to make money off of us.

Yep, every year that's my main objective from corporate: develop a new, extremely virulent form of influenza and then find a cure for it.

Except, yeah, we still haven't gotten that cure part down yet. Damn.

We also create new cancers on a daily basis. It's a fun game we play to pass the time.

You're using too many big words.

My dresser arrived yesterday! And it's fucking destroyed

( The entire back of it is caved in I called you freight company immediately and they are refusing to pick it up because it is apparently my responsibility at 8 months pregnant to carry it inside and somehow open this thing and inspect it all before signing to say I received it.

Add on to this that DH is going into his 5th interview with this company today (6th is scheduled for Tuesday) with no idea if or when they'll ever do a job offer. My last day of work (and therefore the last of our income) is coming up fast. And to top it off, I have 2 hemeroids that are getting worse by the day.

I'm about ready to crawl into a hole.

To protect your fucking baby.

I've never gotten the flu OR the shot, either, but I want to make sure my BABY doesn't get it when she's 5 days old. And the flu shot isn't even MY big sticking point, but I really REALLY hope you got the TDAP. But since your doctor doesn't even bother with an anatomy scan to make sure your baby is healthy and alive, I'm going to guess you didn't get that either.

And P.S., the more people who think the way you do, the more dangerous it is for MY baby. You refuse to vaccinate (I'm assuming you feel the same about vaccinations), and that puts MY kid at risk until she's able to be vaccinated herself.

Now back to ignoring you.

The flu shot is different than other vaccines, and, it's a government run enterprise, so frankly, we make shit off of it and have little say in it. The FDA will select a new technology or manufacturer, and that company will receive payment, but we do not choose the strains that are actually injected into your cute little arm or inhaled through that adorable little nose.

The FDA selects the different influenza strains each year that manufacturers should include in their vaccines for the U.S. population for the upcoming influenza season. You can get the flu with or without the vaccine because it's an educated guess at the strains for the upcoming year.

ETA: I feel like I may be talking over her head here. Why on earth am I even trying?

Sidenote about my flu shot yesterday:

The girl who gave it to me was like, wayyyyy oversharing. She was really nice. But she was asking who my doctor was, and telling me about how EVERYONE tears, but it doesn't matter, it wasn't that bad, she loves her baby, etc. Then she made some comment about how she's had to have at least 100 tests and shots over the course of her life because she was very sick as a kid.

I feel like I did not give a proper response, which was to ignore that comment. Was I supposed to ASK why she was sick? Or if she is better now? I don't know how to interact with real people.

I have had a new born. She never got the flu. I have had a child who has never gotten the flu. I believe in building your baby's own immunities before introducing any thing to your baby.

yes, your anecdotal experience as a mother trumps all the hard science out there and the outcomes research. Brava! That n of 1 just astounding! ^:)^

You do not want a baby to contract the flu and have to build up an immunity to it; that's a gamble that you should not want to take given what's on the other side if s/he's immune system cannot handle it.

It's extremely arrogant to feel that your uneducated, non-medical, unsubstantiated opinion trumps that of medical professionals and experts in the fields of immunology, infectious disease, maternal fetal medicine and virology. Your misplaced arrogance puts your child at risk. If you're okay with that, well, I hope you don't have to learn what it's like to live with what could be negative consequences of that decision.

Additionally, not touching the border comment. Nope.

@jalara48 - Thank you!

I am one of those unfortunate people who anaphylaxed with the flu vaccine as a kid. Hives, trouble breathing, the works due to my egg allergy... so I Iove people who understand how important the flu vaccine is to protect the safety of others (like me!).

I am also one of those fortunate people who has friends and family who get the flu shot to protect me. Even working in a hospital, I have only had the flu 2 times in my whole life thanks to people around me being vigilant about vaccination.

In short, vaccinate yourself, and when your kids are old enough, vaccinate them. Be a responsible adult and make decisions that encourage the health of everyone.

@crawford411 Can you receive Flublock? It's protein based and manufactured sans eggs or influenza virus.

I will say one finall thing. The FDA is the reason we grow our own produce and farm out own cattle. But keep trusting in them I'm sure they have your best interest at heart. And not there wallets. I guess since the FDA approved fracking and it's destroying peoples drinking water and underwater wells the the point they can light there water on fire, it's fine to drink also.
Having to put fences around your pounds to keep cattle from dying will really open your eyes. But thanks for letting me know I can trust in them. I really needed to know I can.

Now I have to shower. Pack and get dressed for my early view app. So I can go make sure my baby's is alive. Since I must be to stupid to know on my own.

Update: my doctor did an anatomy scan. He just never called it that. So I was confused. He will be doing it again soon. He doesn't believe in unnessary SG. Since it can be disturbing to the baby. But thanks guys for being concerned.

@crawford411 Can you receive Flublock? It's protein based and manufactured sans eggs or influenza virus.

In theory... probably. But I haven't for two main reasons:

1. Because I never anaphylaxed with eggs (just had allergic reactions) and did anaphylax with the flu vaccine, I have never been able to find a doctor willing to give it to me. We can't 100% guarantee that it was the egg protein and not something else that did it.
2. I did some research, and it's recommended to be given to people with known anaphylactic reactions to the vaccine in the emergency room with epinephrine readily available. This scares me shitless and definitely isn't something I'd try pregnant.
3. It is very hard to find in our area, has to be special-ordered, and costs a fortune. It is not covered by our insurance due to cheaper vaccinations being available. Add to that the cost of having it administered under medical supervision and possible in the ED, and it just isn't worth it to me.

So for now, I am holding off and waiting until they do more research on it for people like me. As soon as I'm convinced it's safe for me, I will do it. In the meantime, I will continue begging everyone else around me to do it. I even run the flu clinics at my work to help get all of our employees vaccinated.

@crawford411

Makes total sense! I hope no one around you gives you a hard time about their getting vaccinated!

It's didn't take my doctor an hour maybe 30 min. I'm sure after doing it thousands of times he knows what he is looking for. My DH was also there. I was distracted. He did it vaginal. It was awkward for me to have it done with him in the room. But thanks for your concern

Flu shot with insurance: $35 copay

I'm glad I pay for insurance. It's helpful.

Speaking of insurance, when does the flu shot become available? I want all of us to get at home to get it before baby is born.
*** My OB gave me one at my appointment this past Tuesday, so they must be available now.

Good to know!

My OB told me she'd give it to me before I left the hospital. Should we be getting it while still pregnant?

I think the CDC recommends it now to help protect the baby.

Had to add to this... there was a local story in my town within the last year where a pregnant woman died from the flu. Not very common I know, but the doctors reported that had she gotten the flu vaccine, it could have been prevented and that they strongly encourage pregnant women to get the vaccination. This is not medical advice - everyone should check with their Dr. of course!
