How many moms are against the flu shot ? I haven't got it and my son hasn't either and I'm really not planning to. But…

Get the flu shot it protects u and the baby

I've heard really awful things, I decided against it.

I wouldn't get it.

@kparis, Me too ! everyone I know gets sick a few days after getting it, and I seen online a 9 year old began to lose her vision and got paralyzed from her waste down days after getting hers too.

I'm not getting it

i would look at real, credible scientific information based on studies and research to make your decision rather than asking people who may not have done the same and are persuaded and influenced by media propaganda

🙋🙋 I never allow my kids to get it. the few times any of them did they were sicker than shit..... ever since I opt out.

I didn't get it. & my mother didn't ever let me get it as a kid

I'm not against it, I just didn't get it. I didn't get it while pregnant with my first either for laziness reasons. My daughter hasn't gotten it, yet, and I'm not even sure if she will. I'm usually a "pro-vaxx" kinda person, but I'm undecided.

I'm obviously looking into it, I'm not dumb enough to make a decision on who is getting it and who is not on here. but there's nothing wrong with asking! @chelsie918

I agree with @chelsie918 you need to look at facts not people saying this person died from the flu shot. if it is scientifically proven they died from it OK but people just saying babies and pregnant women have died from the shot doesn't make it true

@steph11, like I told her. I AM looking into it.! After seeing everything I'm researching it.

I'm against it. Each time I get it I get sick! Last time I got it I had a miscarriage at 7 weeks and I'm pretty sure it was the shot that caused it. Now I'm scared to do it, because I'm scared it'll induce my labor and I want everything to go naturally. I never had a problem with a flu shot before I moved to US

@babycasey, yeah that's how my sister in law is. my nephews would get really bad. so she hasn't got it for a few years and they hardly get super sick now. I'm just reading some ingredients it has and that's what making me like ehhh I don't think I want all those toxins in me or my child.

oh god. I'm sorry about your loss. I would feel the same way as you. I will forever be paranoid if something like that happened to me after any shot. @stacy_

@xaviersmommy, go check your child for allergy to vaccine most common ingredients and when you are trying to decide if you want to do it or not, check the vaccine ingredient list. I think I'll avoid flu shot for a few years and wait my kid to develop a nice immune system first.. Yes I get sick, but I don't die from it and maybe they'll change something over time and flu shot will become more benign

my kids have done well on their own, I'm usually pretty good at catching and signs before it gets any further... it just seems there always something that comes back negative about the "current" vaccine and next year it'll change....

@xaviersmommy, well, I am paranoid now:) I'll totally do a huge research on it. The thing is it's hard to find an appropriate literature about vaccines. All sources are so controversial

yes that's how I am. when I see my son with a minor fever or a running nose I take him to the dr first then anything. but yes that is so true. something different all the time. @babycasey

people have died from different versions of the flu shot, so I'm good lol

Hopefully my son has a good immune system like his father and I. My bf never gets the flu shot and I honestly never really seen him sick and I've been with him since 09. the most he gets is a runny nose. and I hardly get sick too. All I really would get was ear infections. but I haven't got sick in over a year, thank god. but when I did it would last 3 or 4 days. Same with my baby. he's gotten sick twice but it was because of an ear infection he had, not a cold. I will call his dr Monday and see if I can get a copy of what ingredients come in "this year's flu shot" since I seen I can demand to see that before I make a decision for my baby. then I'll go on from there.

@stacy_, sta

@xaviersmommy, yeah, you do what you think is right.. It's kind of hard to make such decisions, but deep inside your intuition will help you with that :) good luck and don't get sick:)

Yeah I just have this big feeling inside of me that tells me not too. But we shall see. aha Thank you. hopefully I don't jinx myself after this. Good luck to you as well, hope your labor goes as planned and easy. @stacy_

@xaviersmommy, thanks! :)

I got it on Wednesday and feel fine! :) My doctor said you are at a higher risk for getting the flu while pregnant. I would just consult with you doctor ask them all the questions. I know some shots they actually put the virus in you to make you immune from it but they don't do that with the flu shot anymore! :)

I got the flu shot. Wasn't worth the risk to myself or my baby not to. The type of flu shot my OB gave me does not introduce the virus, so at the most you may feel tired and have an achy arm.

Yeah I'll talk to my dr when I go in on Tuesday. I didn't get the flu shot with my first and thank god I didn't get sick. I'll see what he has to say about it. @babykellersmommy

I didn't get it my first pregnancy either but there's a lot going around this time so I figured after talking to my doctor why not? My arm hurt and that was about it.

there really is too much going on in this damn world. everything gives cancer or people get sick some how. aha I'm just going to live in a damn bubble forever with my kids @babykellersmommy
