@JerricaBenton: It has eased my mind SO MUCH that I got it, fwiw. 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!

I have the flu shot and the Tdap. 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....

DH and I had the Tdap. Neither of us has ever gotten the flu shot.

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!

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.

@PrincessBaby: Thanks! 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!
