Flu Vaccination - Will you be getting it ?
I have the option of getting the flu vaccination in work tomorrow and I was just wondering what your thoughts were on it. I know that it is recommended for pregnant women to get the vaccine but at the same time I didn't get it when I was pregnant with DD and I have only had the flu once in my life when I was a teenager.
So will you be getting it ?DD Christmas 2010

Yeah, I heard it protects baby from the flu for six months after birth so I will probably get it even though I'm not looking forward to it.

So funny you asked this. There is actually a running joke in our area (I work at an educational institution that has a wellness center) because the last time I took the flu shot I became pregnant with my son. Guess what...I also received the flu shot a month before I became pregnant this time. Interesting. I don't know that they are necessary but make sure you get the preservative free one if you do get it.

Our family is now complete - no more babies for us. We didn't get our girl but I wouldn't trade my boys for the world, so in love.

I did because the flu is very dangerous for babies to contract. I didn't get one with my first and he got the flu and was in the hospital for days.

no I don't make breastmilk beyond the colostrum which was all he got. Breastfeeding is no guarantee against the flu either especially if the mother didn't have it in the last year.
