Flu shot in first tri?

[patbutcher]

No reason why not to, right? Last time I was in second tri by the time the flu clinics opened but I'll be 10 weeks tomorrow. I could wait until 12 weeks to get the shot but was thinking of getting it asap.

I got mine at 6 weeks and the Dr (my primary care) didn't say not to

I was going to get mine yesterday (I'll be 11 weeks tomorrow) but had a cold. I'll probably go tomorrow since I'm off and feeling better.

Pretty sure I got mine in first tri last time. Are you going to get it at the dr or just a clinic? I can get mine at the grocery store but I'm also at the doctor monthly so I might just wait.

The regions flu clinics. The first one is on Tuesday. Are shoppers already doing them? @hannymaren

I was about six weeks when I got mine. Nurse said its more dangerous to get the flu when pregnant than to get the flu shot when pregnant.

I got it from my OB, as recommended by her, at my first appointment (6ish weeks) with my first pregnancy.

Just make are they know you're pregnant and get the preservative free shot

Pretty sure my Dr encouraged me to get one 1st tri with ds1.

My OB gave it to me right around 10 weeks.

My OB said it's fine to get it at any time.

I got mine right at 6 or 7w with G. No issues - it was recommended by my ob. I think they gave me a preservative free version.

We still don't have the flu shot. Maybe October 20/21.

My OB gave it to me in the first tri.

I should also note that DH got the flu last year. He missed the clinic at work and just never rescheduled. DD1 and I both avoided getting sick. My OB actually prescribed me tamiflu to take as a prophylactic and encouraged me to leave the house for a few days, but I couldn't. So I'm glad I did end up getting the shot.

I got it at my OB's office at my 12 week appointment.
