Prego moms with LO's getting the flu shot
Is there any concern for you being pregnant and being around your LO after they get the flu shot? I am about 6 weeks and DD is getting the flu shot next week. I want her to get the one without Thimerisol (?) since that is what my dr's office said, but I am still a little concerned. This shot makes me so crazy.

I am confused, sorry, but do you mean that you think there might be a concern of your DD getting the flu shot and it somehow affecting you or your pregnancy? I don't think the flu shot will cause any reactions that you can get sick from.

Re: Prego moms with LO's getting the flu shot
The flu shot does not have any live virus in it. The nasal spray has weakened virus (and perhaps you should avoid this one).
I'm getting the shot preggo.
It IS reccommended if you are preggo.
There is no danger of having a kid pass you the flu due to the flu shot (not necessarily true for nasal spray).

The acutal shot does not contain live virus so it wouldn't be an issue for your LO to pass anything to you.
