Currently in my 2nd trimester and my office is asking everyone to take flu shot. Im a little scared about putting anything in my body right now. Did anyone here take it during pregnancy?
I usually prefer home remedies like ginger tea for minor colds, but the flu shot is actually safe and recommended during pregnancy. Do discuss with your doctor about the timing. If u have any active fever, ask them before getting it.
Oh god, I researched for three days before getting it because I was so scared of side effects. But my gynac said getting actual flu can be very dangerous during pregnancy, so the vaccine is a must. It turned out perfectly fine!
Yes, it is safe, I took it during my second trimester and now my baby is healthy and breastfeeding well. The protective antibodies actually pass to the baby too. Highly recommend asking your gynac about the schedule.
I actually cried before getting my shot thinking it might affect my baby! But honestly, my doctor explained it actually protects the baby from catching flu even after birth. It is 100% normal and safe, so don't worry.
Yaar, my baby kept me up all night but let me quickly reply. Yes, my doctor literally made me get it and baby is totally fine, though my arm ached like crazy. Go get it, one less thing to worry about!
I had gestational diabetes so I was super careful about everything injected or eaten during my pregnancy. My doctor assured me the flu vaccine is totally safe and doesn't affect blood sugar at all. Definitely get it done as advised.
