Flu jab with 3 weeks to go

[steben]

Would you bother? My first instinct was to say no - I didn't bother last time during all the swine flu hysteria as i am usually quite well and rarely get ill but this time with a toddler to care for and going into the harsh winter season instead of summer maybe it is the sensible option - WWYD?

I think these are all valid points - and I don't think that just because you are pregnant you are more likely to get it. However I think having read all the posts I am leaning towards yes as I don't have a support network if I did fall ill and as we are going into winter - I have a toddler and will likely be tired and run down I am perhaps more susceptible.

i will be getting it had the convo with my midwife yesterday. i know its not fact but when i m/c at 10 week i had really bad flu laid on the settee for over a full week i couldnt move was really lethargic and struggling to stay awake and i believe that was what caused me to m/c. i absolutely hate needles but if it helps keep flu away then im in.
