My doc mentioned getting a flu shot but i forgot to ask which one is safe. Im 20 weeks now and thoda confused about it. Anyone got it during pregnancy?
The injectable flu vaccine is completely safe and actually highly recommended during pregnancy to protect both you and the baby. Just tell your gynac, they will write down the exact brand and schedule it for you. Don't skip it.
Haan na, even I was so confused about this vaccine thing. But my gynac told me that the inactive flu shot is totally safe for us. Doctor ki advice le lo, ho na, safe rahega sab.
I took the regular inactivated flu shot during my pregnancy because my doctor said it passes antibodies to the baby as well. It really helped me stay safe from seasonal viral infections, and now my baby is healthy too. Do check with your doctor once.
During my pregnancy, my doctor gave me the flu shot, and it didn't cause any issues at all. Even after my C-section, I was glad I had that protection because recovery takes time and you don't want to catch a cold while your stitches are healing. Ask your gynac about it.
I am currently planning my pregnancy and my doctor mentioned that getting the flu vaccine before or during pregnancy is a must. Is there a specific month in pregnancy when we have to take it?
Ugh, my arms are already sore from all the blood tests in this 3rd trimester, and now the flu shot! My gynac gave me the inactive flu vaccine around my second trimester. Definitely ask your doctor to prescribe the right one for you.
