I posted this on the other one, but I
think more ppl are here.........
Ok, after typing this and having it
deleted....I'll do it again. Ok, I am so
worried that I decided to track down a
computer on my mini vacation so I can ask
ya'll what you think...........One, can
you take the flu shot while you are
pregnant??????????? Bc my boyfriends mom
brought one home to give me today...(she
is a nurse) I am asking bc I think there
may be possibly a very very very very slim
like 1/100 chance that I am pregnant...But
then again I don't........Bc I just had my
period two weeks ago......And these
symptoms that i'm having are too soon,
right? I'm peeing like crazy, but I don't
have a uti......I have massive headaches,
I sleep sooooooooo much, I have no control
over my body........I've been sick once
but keep a feeling that I will be
sick.......I am so weak, and I get dizzy
so much.......But these symptoms should
not show up so early in a
pregnancy!!!!!!!! I don't know what to
think, but I don't have a good reason to
tell my mum-in-law that I can't take the
shot she has ordered me to take?????????
Any advice or any knowledge that will
shoot down my scared and paranoid
thoughts????????
Love ya and thanks soooooooooo much!

1- yes you can and definitely should when
you're pregnant! Pregnant women are in
the high risk and the cdc is recommending
that all pregnant women get the flu
shot.
2- when did you have sex? When was your
last period? How far along should you be?
You can't ever tell by symptoms. The
only way to tell is to take a test.
Pregnancy symptoms like the ones you
described can also be caused by natural
horomonal changes in the body, switching,
starting, or stopping birth control,
thinking your pregnant, or wanting to be
pregnant! Take a test, if you have missed
a period.

-i would get the flu shot, if you have it
available to you. Like erin said, you
should definitly get the shot if you are
pregnant.
-no one can tell you if you are pregnant
or not. The only thing you can do is wait
for your period not to show, then go to
walmart, buy a test..Then take it with
your first morning urine.
Good luck,
-kristin

The symptoms could be from you
anticipating going on birth control. The
body does some reaaaally weird things
sometimes!

That's what i'm counting on...Not that I
wouldn't be delighted to become a
mommy...But I would rather wait until my
boyfriend could share the joy to the same
extent as me....And I even thought it
could be bc of me ovlating....Yesterday,
today, and the next two days are my most
fertile...So I was thinking that could be
why these last few days have been the
worst yet.......

Oh, I know!!!!!!!! I've been so afraid
to take it now bc of this....But my doc
wanted me to take it bc of the whole
endometriosis thing...And I don't want to
tell mitch that i'm not taking it bc I
suspect a small chance that I am
expecting.........Even though deep down I
really truely don't....I just don't want
to do anything to harm the baby if I
really am......Arg, it's so frustrating.
Lol bc if I stop taking it, it could give
me false signs of pregnancy...And I could
not be pregnant to begin with....Which I
don't think I am, I say again, lol, but if
I don't...It could affect the baby if
there is one...Hmmmmmmmm. I don't know.
Lol
