Will you be getting a Flu Shot?
in GP Moms
I am reading so many different views on getting the flu shot while pregnant. I work in a hospital and the flu shot is STRONGLY recommended. We have already had a break out of 6 confirmed flu cases in our hospital. I am already getting a doctors note so that I do not get floated outside of my unit (to Pediatrics or Pediatric Intensive Care where they always have atleast 75% of their patient population with flu/respiratory issues). I work in NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) so I don't have to worry about it in my unit.
Sorry for the book. Just wondering on what you have heard about getting the flu shot while pregnant, and whether or not you plan on getting one. Thanks in advance!
TTC for 18 months. IUI #1 BFP= EDD 5/23/14. Progesterone Suppositories and Levothyroxine started. First U/S 9/27

I never had one until I was pregnant.

My hospital now requires it. But I would get it anyway and so will Parker at his appointment next month. It's not worth the risk.

According to the CDC's website:
The timing of flu is very unpredictable and can vary from season to season. Flu activity most commonly peaks in the U.S. in January or February. However, seasonal flu activity can begin as early as October and continue to occur as late as May.
So it might not be as important for you being due in April as it is for Jan/Feb parents-to-be, but still worth asking your OB about since the virus could still be circulating then.
