    I had it. Last pregnancy I was constantly sick with the flu etc and ended up in hospital because of it which I think would have done much more stress and harm to bub than having the injection (which i didnt have last time). I 100000% trust my doctor though and she wouldnt give me anything that would hurt bub. Also, you are going to be pregnant right through flu season.

    I would have it (particularly if the MW says it's safe). I was all it won't happen to me but I ended up with the swine flu in my second tri...what are the chances of that. The swine flu can be devastating,. I am just so lucky I didn't get a temperature high enough to affect my bub but I was sure really scared the whole time I had it.

    It's probably one of few vaccines u can have while pregnant. I had one at 8 weeks through work but called the docs to make sure first as I had to keep my pregnancy a secret.. I had no probs with it but everyone is different and can react differently :-)

    I would say no but i'm not a vaxx fan... but my reasoning for this would be if you have any family history of egg allergies. it's one of a couple that contain egg proteins and depending of if you think your bub could be in a line for egg allergies i'd avoid it
    all the best
