I got one at my doc appt today, I'm 35w 4d. I was apprehensive first but my doctor convinced me when she said that my baby is going to be born during flu season. And she's like "do you think we would recommend it if it wasn't the best thing for you or baby?" Sooo I gave in. I was also scared bcuz I thought you get sick for a few days after u get it but she said you don't.

I'm getting one, just to be on the safe side. They said they have a vaccine with no preservatives for preggos.

Yes its a good idea to get it. Doctor says that it protects baby 6 months after she is born from the flu virus. I got mine last friday :-)
