flu shot?


i've never had a flu shot, however, i've considered it for this year. can't lie, the swine flu updates have gotten me a bit. media hype or reality?

anyway, just thought i'd see what other ttc ladies thought.

i've made it this far without one...and the thought of getting one kind of freaks me out a bit (esp. ttc)

hope this finds you all healthy and happy

I do not plan on getting one, but I will make one note, when I was pregnant with my son, I had a terrible flu at the beginning of the pregnancy, and it can CAN cause heart defects. My son was born with a heart defect. I do not know if it was related to the flu, but it's a possibility (not saying EVERYONE that gets the flu will have issues!!! So please do not panic), but I know when I'm pregnant again I will avoid EVERYONE that has a hint of a cold or flu.
