I am going to talk with our midwife today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-amp-getting-a-flu-shot#post-433005 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 12:03:28 +0000 Bookish 433005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got my first one yesterday at 9w on the recommendation of the doctor. Go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-amp-getting-a-flu-shot#post-432928 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 11:22:25 +0000 MK0180 432928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw an RE on Monday and she recommended that both DH and I get one (more like told us to get one). I also read that this flu season is supposed to be a pretty bad one and its starting early this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-amp-getting-a-flu-shot#post-432909 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 11:13:56 +0000 Smurfette 432909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one pregnant, per my doctor. They even suggested DH get one. You would be fine to get one while TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-amp-getting-a-flu-shot#post-432847 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 10:38:15 +0000 Alivoo01 432847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were TTC and I got the flu shot. It's safe to and has no side effects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-amp-getting-a-flu-shot#post-432838 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 10:32:13 +0000 Foodnerd81 432838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one while TTC. I saw the midwife for a regular check up and got it after my appointment, and she didn't have any problem. Turns out I got it like 3 days before we conceived, so no ill effects there :)</p> <p>Oh and I didn't think to ask for any special pregnancy safe one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-amp-getting-a-flu-shot#post-432835 Wed, 05 Dec 2012 10:27:28 +0000 Revel 432835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like others, I had the flu shot a few weeks ago at 8 weeks pregnant, so I would imagine you can have it while TTC. I got mine at my midwife so it was the one that is "safe" for pregnant women - not a live virus and preservative free. I was a little nervous because I've never gotten one before but it was virtually painless and I didn't have any lasting ill effects.</p> <p>Could you get it from your OB/GYN so you could be comfortable it's the right one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-amp-getting-a-flu-shot#post-432215 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 21:44:49 +0000 kentuckygirl 432215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are also TTC and I keep thinking I will get a flu shot before I O but I still haven't done it! Maybe I can go Friday afternoon. I like the idea of getting the pregnancy safe shot just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-amp-getting-a-flu-shot#post-432172 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 21:27:34 +0000 mango.sprays 432172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am TTC and flu shots were mandatory at my work this year, so I got one for the first time. I did pick a day during the first 2 weeks of my cycle, just because I had the option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-amp-getting-a-flu-shot#post-432163 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 21:19:22 +0000 shopaholic 432163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got the flu shot during pregnancy. If you want to be careful, u can go get the pregnancy safe (no preservative) flu shot! Good Luck and baby dust! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-amp-getting-a-flu-shot#post-432155 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 21:15:57 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 432155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Flu shots are recommended in pregnancy. Get one ASAP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-amp-getting-a-flu-shot#post-432149 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 21:10:56 +0000 birdofafeather 432149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can get one while pregnant, but you can always call your doc and see what they recommend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-amp-getting-a-flu-shot#post-432132 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 21:02:58 +0000 Vegmama 432132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hubby &amp; I are actively TTC. I've never had a flu shot before, but I am thinking I should get one this year. Did any of you get a flu shot during the two week wait? Or while TTC. I imagine its safe, but was curious! </p>
