Flu shot during pregnancy? Thoughts ? I'm getting the tdap after much thought. Just wondering about the flu... What did y'all do?
I got mine last week it made me SO sick such as vomiting and headaches and I was so tired. It lasted about 4 days
I'm pro vaccination, but with that being said the flu shot is the only shot I don't get and I won't be getting for my daughter, mostly because every flu strain is ever changing and the shot doesn't necessarily keep you from getting it, in my personal experience I got the flu almost every year even when I got the shot, but when I stopped getting the shot I didn't get the flu.
I never get them normally but it is not a live virus and can give some protection to baby so I got it. I'm due in December too
@mrs.holliman, I got mine today... I usually do not get them, and don't think I got it in my first pregnancy... however, my baby will be in the NICU, and it is super important that my kiddo and the other babies in there don't get sick, so I got it.
from an anti Vax point of view, getting the flu shot doesn't keep you from actually getting the flu. I wouldn't get it. but that's just me. 😊
I don't ever get the flu shot & in very pro vaccine.
