I've really been stressing about getting the flu shot! My doctor's office doesn't have it yet. I'm thinking about just…

I just looked it up and found this.. In case anyone is stressing about it like me! I'd still like to know if any mommies out there aren't getting it and why!! http://www.cdc.gov/features/pregnancyandflu/

I didn't get the flu shot only the tdap

You know if you take vitamin c tablets EVERYDAY it's just as affective maybe more

I don't get flu shots at all, and don't plan on doing it anytime soon. The majority of my family works in the medical field and none of them get flu shots, and most of the doctors I know don't even get them. My OBGYN doesn't get the flu shot or tdap and she's pregnant. I honestly believe it can do more harm than good.

Did your doctor recommend doing anything else for your baby to prevent it? Or did they seem like it wasn't a big deal?

@Santistevanmommie,

I've gotten it both times during pregnancy and will be doing it again beginning of October

@queendavis @santistevanmommie @royce_nikol @blessedw7 thanks for your input ladies!

I wouldn't get it. but thats my opinion

I don't get them. It seems like when I have in the past, I still end up getting sick. The CDC only guesses what strains will be prevalent during flu season to make the shot, so it's never 100%.

i got it when i was pregnant. but i did because it was flu season and i worked in a hotel.

I don't get it. I leaned the hard way years ago that I am allergic to one the the preservatives in it. Also, it's normally just last years stains of the flu anyway.
