Hi Ladies,

I am wondering about getting a flu shot this winter or not seeing as I am preg! DH, DS and I always get the flu shot now that DS is here and is a high risk boy.

I have received conflicting advice (no really? ) on this one. GP thinks I should get it, sister who is a nurse and mother of 4 thinks no, DS's cardiologist isnt sure, midwife thinks yes, imunisation nurse who does DS's shots thinks I should get it. I am seeing my OB on Tue and will ask her then.

Another contributing factor is that DH is going to Canada and New York tomorrow for three weeks for work and may bring home yukky overseas flu (not swine as he wont be allowed back into Aus if he has that!).

What do you guys think?? Are any of you thinking of getting it done?

I just dont want anything to harm the baby.

Thanks,
