Would you recommend getting flu shot at 38 weeks?

I'm kind of hesitant on getting it, after hearing people get sick from it. What is your suggestion?

    Flu shots creep me out in general, so no.

    I am anti flu shot. there have been too many cases of people getting sick and even paralyzed or severe nerve damage for me to ever get it. I understand ther are alot of people who get it and never have reactions but I've never had the shot and I've never had the flu either so I'm never going to get one.

    No, but thats my own personal opinion. They say the one they give pregnant woman is the none live one. But I dont trust it, I got it once and got so sick. Never again will I get one

    I got the flu shot and I'm fine the only reason i got it bc my babys gunna be a winter baby and the shot covers them untill there 6 months shots so it only made my arm hurt and I wad super sleepy for a day

    Definetely for it. I got it at 36 weeks and did not get sick, they dont give u the live one people! Ur baby is going to be born during flu season, you do not want to get sick and not be able to be around them. Your doctor would not reccomend something that is harmful to u or baby.

    I had my flu shot over a week ago and I'm still alive and not sick.the only thing that happened my arm was sore afterwards. I've had the flu shot in the past of course it was like 6yrs ago. I had to get one because my mom had cancer. I had to get one to protect her.

    I tend to get sick all the time, I catch everyones illness. Maybe I should go and get it to protect myself and especially my baby....

    I got mine at 37 weeks, they never make me sick though. I say go for it! You don't want your baby getting sick

    I got mine last week and its the first time I've ever gotten it. I'm also anti flu shot but Dr made me get it and it protects baby. Don't plan on getting it again unless I have another winter baby. The only thing it did was make my arm sore for days.

    Ive never had one. But my dr hasn't even mentioned me getting one. So i don't know, im a little nervous. I've got to get my boys the flu shot but haven't yet. I've heard we all need it cuz she is going to be born in winter.

    i just got one at 30 weeks pregnant..i did not get sick. my arm just hurt for a couple days. i'm weak lol
  • trixiesmom8trixiesmom8
    I just got mine the other day at 36 weeks, that was the only shot the doc recommended we get because the baby will be born in the flu season. I'm not sick(knock on wood) & hubbub didn't get sick either. My arm was sore for like a day tho. I'd rather be safe then sorry, plus baby gets it too because they are getting your antibodies.
