I'm definitely going to discuss it again at my next appointment. Like you said, I know it'll ease my stress with the in-laws if I get it! lemondrop on "Have you had the flu shot/whooping cough vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-the-flu-shotwhooping-cough-vaccine/page/2#post-421168 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 09:49:14 +0000 lemondrop 421168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Absolutely, if I got my baby sick, I wouldn't be able to live with myself- and these are serious illnesses for an infant. I am a big believer in vaccines, and I don't trust enough other people to have gotten them to protect my family or to have the good sense to stay home and out of the public if they aren't feeling well. littlebug on "Have you had the flu shot/whooping cough vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-the-flu-shotwhooping-cough-vaccine/page/2#post-421130 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 09:28:29 +0000 littlebug 421130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I got the Tdap when I started my job, and I get the flu shot every year. Both are requirements for my employment at the hospital. Hubs got both, and we asked our parents to get both, as well. They all have/will before baby arrives in January! cheesetomywhine on "Have you had the flu shot/whooping cough vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-the-flu-shotwhooping-cough-vaccine/page/2#post-421081 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 09:02:31 +0000 cheesetomywhine 421081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH and I had the Tdap. Neither of us has ever gotten the flu shot.

I got both while pregnant, and it was my first time for both. I feel like Tdap may be more heavily promoted in certain regions, maybe those that have had a nearby outbreak? It is apparently not a big deal in some areas, and in others (like where I live), a grave importance is put on it....

You know all the exhausting background, but it has just made me feel so much better that I was able to get it. And my doctor didn't initially know that the CDC just changed the guidelines and that it's now OK for pregs. They just changed it at the very end of October, so the doctor you spoke with just may not be aware yet. I told my DR and she went to the CDC website and verified and then she was like, "Okay, let's find it for you...." Good luck with whatever you decide! mamabolt on "Have you had the flu shot/whooping cough vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-the-flu-shotwhooping-cough-vaccine#post-420995 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 08:01:59 +0000 mamabolt 420995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH got DTAP while I was pregnant, I got it at the hospital before discharge. We both got flu shots in Oct/Nov - I got mine free through work and we went to Target to get DH's. matador84 on "Have you had the flu shot/whooping cough vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-the-flu-shotwhooping-cough-vaccine#post-420980 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 07:51:40 +0000 matador84 420980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We got the whooping cough in hospital but no flu shot. mrsjyw on "Have you had the flu shot/whooping cough vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-the-flu-shotwhooping-cough-vaccine#post-420945 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 05:59:10 +0000 mrsjyw 420945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yup got both before discharge Periwinkle on "Have you had the flu shot/whooping cough vaccine?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-had-the-flu-shotwhooping-cough-vaccine#post-420944 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 05:57:03 +0000 Periwinkle 420944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I actually got both right after delivery.

The pharmacist there was good about explaining the difference between the spray (bad! if pregnant) and the shot (we should get the preservative free as it's safest for pregnant ladies). I would imagine most pharmacies stock either - you just have to make sure and tell them you're pregnant so they give you the right one. luckypenny on "Where do you get a flu shot if you're pregnant?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-you-get-a-flu-shot-if-youre-pregnant#post-420114 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 17:47:09 +0000 luckypenny 420114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I went to Walgreens. Be sure to ask for the preservative free one because despite the fact that I was a very obvious 6 months pregnant, they STILL gave me the one with mercury. Awesome. I freaked out. I'll only go to my doc now.

If they don't give it out, they should be able to recommend you to someone that does.
