I was pregnant two years ago (wow doesn't feel that long ago) and I was told by a pharmasist that if you don't HAVE to take medication (ie flu shot) then don't. You might want to add handwashing and no kissing on the mouth to your list of don't for your dh as an added percaution. So needless to say I didn't get the flu only a cold just when spring started even with me being on bedrest and at home with only my dh around and once a week visits to the Peri.

Don't worry yourself sick over this, make a choice and feel confident in it. Not sure if you could even get the shot now that there is a shortage anyways since you're not a high risk person (ie CLD or other respiratory issues). Call your OB up again and find out why it's so important to get it and if indeed the vaccine is covering the strain that infecting your state.

Pray about it first and foremost.
