Flu shot? What do you think?

[RhiChiChi]

I just got it recently b/c I have been very unwell the past 12 months on & off with colds/head/chest etc.... and then passing it onto my DD. I never get sick when I get the flu shot - I get no side effects except for a sore arm where the jab went in. My OBS told me it was safe to get a flu shot when pg but I didn't as well as the company who my work gets to do it won't do pg women (don't know why).

Have you gotten one before? I would think your reaction would be the same except I know that the H1N1 (?) is now included in the flu shot. Perhaps it is best to speak to nurse on call or you healthcare provider.

I spoke to my Dr about getting mine and she recommended that I do - apparently getting the flu especially H1N1 has a high risk of complications for pregnant women. Arm hurt for a day or 2 and that was about it really - no problematic side effects and even though I was in first trimester bubs is fine
