question about flu vaccinations
So if I get the H1N1 shot while I'm still pg, does that mean my LO (when he arrives) is also "vaccinated"?
So DH wouldn't necessarily have to get the shot then b/c even if he got the H1N1 flu, the baby would still be ok?
And is it the same for the seasonal flu shot?

If you breastfeed you will pass on some of the immunity from vaccines to your LO.
I'm not sure how it works if you are pregnant. Bella's pediatrician said for me not to get the H1N1 vaccine because it "wasn't tested enough on nursing moms". I did get the seasonal flu vaccine and I am breastfeeding. Bella is too young to get the flu vaccine this year. I'm also becoming a crazy mom and making everyone wash their hands before interacting with her at all. I can't control daycare but I can control our house so that's what I'm doing. Hopefully it helps!
The baby will get some immunity from you, but their immune systems are still not as mature as ours. I wouldn't necessarily say the baby would be okay if your DH got H1N1 and exposed him/her. They are still more susceptible to infections of all sorts than adults.
yep, this is true. anyone taking care of the baby needs to get the vaccine.

Actually, it is JUST as important for your DH to get the vaccine as you. Because he'll be out in "public" as much as you are, and after the baby comes, he'll continue to be out in "public" as you stay home with the baby.
Basically, if you get the shot while pregnant, then you pass on some of your antibodies to the baby right away, but your baby is still born with an undeveloped immune system. If you get the shot when you are breastfeeding, then you pass the antibodies on thru your breast milk.
DH and I got BOTH the regular and H1N1 vaccines. I am asking our families to do the same, especially if they plan to come visit us this Christmas!
