@Wepplo it depends on who you get the shot from. The idea is your immune system shouldn't be compromised to get the best response out if the vaccine so if you're sick, they don't want to risk either a. Taking your body's focus off the actual problem or b. Not getting a solid response to the vaccine itself. Different administerers have different lines that they draw.
The flu shot has successfully been administered billions of times and there have only been a small number of negative reactions (beyond a simple sore arm or a bit of lethargy). Just tell them you're pregnant to get the preservative free one and you'll be golden.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Rants: I'm have such a hard time sleeping. But I'm going on vacation tomorrow (rave!) but this is sooooo not a cute time to be in a bathing suit for me (major rant). I dont look pregnant yet most of the time, just like I've put on some weight. I bought a maternity bathingsuit and a couple tankinis, so hopefully I'll enjoy the sun and not think about it!
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Nothing yet. Just told all of our friends and family this week. Not rushing to do a gender scan or anything like that, though it would be cool to see baby again! Next scan is Jan 18 so kind of far away.
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? What isnt my favorite breakfast food?? I keep kosher so no bacon for me, but I LOVE breakfast food. Waffles, pancakes, omelettes and the works!
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: I have become a black hole literally eating everything I can get my hands on. It's frustrating because I get hangry really quickly! Also this morning I cried because I had spaghetti for breakfast and I went to eat it and it was still cold.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? : Baby shower planning has officially begun! I want an early shower around 6 months so I'm doing that and ordering baby clothes here and there.
Questions?: Is anyone else anxious to meet their LO?
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? Shrimp and cheesy grits
@mamabird24 I'm sorry that happened!! People that play the "I knew it!!" and pester you are so annoying!!! Just let your news be YOUR news to tell when you're ready! Hopefully she keeps quiet so you can announce to others!
Thanks @MsBeachNJ I was pretty upset (thanks hormones!) and had a couple crying episodes last night. But I'm sort of coming to terms with it. I've always found my MIL a bit...annoying...lol but this is just too much for me. The only other person we were going to tell on Christmas was DHs little sister who just flew in today. I'm thinking of just telling her tonight. I don't want to be all grumpy on Christmas because I'm still upset about it.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: still sick! But feeling better overall!!! Yay!!! Jeans feeling tighter today too
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Discussing trading in my husbands truck for a car or a mini van. He will be the hottest soccer dad around lol.
Questions? Nothing today
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? Goetta. If you aren't from Cincinatti its very possible you haven't heard of this. But Goetta with hash browns, cheese, eggs and jelly toast is basically heaven!
@joose159 I felt it around 15 weeks but at this point it would be soooo light. I'm 16+3 now and it's more noticable. I should also mention I was very tiny and had no cushion on my tummy so my midwife told me I was likely to feel it sooner than others.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Rant: A friend of mine is having a baby shower...for her 4th kid. A party to welcome the baby? Sure. A full-on give-me-gifts baby shower? No.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? Still working on our bathroom remodel before we tackle the baby stuff.
Questions? Nothing today
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? Eggs and potatoes and pancakes and bacon and omelettes...pretty much give it all to me.
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: Finally got almost all of my Christmas wrapping done so yay me. Symptoms: I can't stop eating and this back pain is going to kill me. What are you doing to get ready for baby? Since we found out yesterday we're having a boy, we're finally trying to decide on a name.
Questions? None right now
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? Breakfast is my all time favorite meal so it's hard to pick a specific favorite. If I'm actually sitting down to eat then pancakes/waffles with bacon. If I'm on the run then definitely a Whataburger sausage egg and cheese biscuit on a jalapeno cheddar biscuit. Yum. Now I want Whataburger.
January Siggy Challenge: Why I don't shop at Walmart
Rants/Raves/Symptoms: SO angry that I got scammed on our baby furniture! I ordered it from ibabysmart and never got it. I'm hoping I get my money back through paypal. I learned my lesson and will do more research before buying from a website again.
What are you doing to get ready for baby? I brought some boxes home from work today so I could pack up some items to donate and organize some other things I plan to keep and store. That is part of my new years resolution.
Questions? Is it weird that we haven't told our family yet? We got pictures back on Sunday but I'm just not feeling like now is the right time.
GTKY: What is your favorite breakfast food? um...bacon!
