Do you HAVE to get the flu shot during pregnancy or can I just tell my doctor I don't want it? I…

no you absolutely don't I opted out of it

they will ask you but if you don't want it they won't give it to you

It's highly recommended because it can practically kill you if you get the flu while pregnant because of your immune system being down but you don't have to. I only got it because I wanted to.

You can opt out, the tdap is highly recommended to keep from giving baby whooping cough though.

Yea they will ask but it's totally up to you,thanks for the follow ..cute name lol #twinning @briplusone

they say it's completely safe to get while pregnant but they don't tell you that it can cause still birth or spontaneous miscarriage

You can opt out of anything. I simply said no, only because I didn't feel like getting a shot that day, and I've been too lazy to get it since, and my doctor said, okay if you change your mind let me know! but some can kind of be snobby about it. I'm not even against it, I was just not in the mood to be stabbed. 😂

Thanks girl😜😘 @numommy2016 #twins

No prob ☺️ @briplusone

I refused mine !

i normally dont get it but i did with this pregnancy because my doc told me all of the complications that could arise with baby if i was to get the flu while pregnant so i actually didnt refuse this time.

I didn't get mine either and oh my gosh I got the flu in two days my daughter has been sick for 3 days with the flu. I started off just coughing and yesterday being two days out of no where I started coughing sneezing and having a fever.. called my Dr and he called the pharmacy right away for me to take tamiflu. it help me a little to sleep but I still feel horrible. I don't let my baby sleep because I put so much pressure when I sneeze and cough.. I know u don't want it. but I recommend it!!

I got mine ... If I get the flu I sure as heck don't want it so bad it makes me so sick .. U can't take much either when ur sick .. I'd rather be safe then sorry ... If u get a fever your baby gets one too .. Keep that in mind

Didn't get mine, never have had a flu.

I didn't get mine. I've never had one or gotten the flu.

But I did get the TDapp!
